As a lifelong resident of Toronto who has lived all over the city (including the area where Doug Ford resides), I find it completely ridiculous to remove bike lanes on primary routes. I personally witness countless people using these lanes daily, myself included. Read more

This is a ridiculous overreach by the province. You need to allow the cities to plan and build the infrastructure they need. Ontario's biking infrastructure is in its infancy stages and just like transit, it is infrastructure that needs to be built before the demand gets too high. Read more

I fully disagree with this bill and will leave Ontario for Quebec if it were to be passed. This is more than just some bill removing a few blocks of paint. It is actively infringing on the people's right to choose how they get around. Read more

I do not agree with the decision to remove bike lanes in Toronto. Instead continue to link the bike infrastructure to make better connections so it becomes a more viable option for commuters. Focusing on car traffic is not serving the full range of constituents and it limits future growth. Read more

If bike lanes are removed, I will be taking up a whole lane for safety reasons. As is my right, just like motor vehicles. I see value in all modes of transportation. This is a bipartisan issue that affects everyone. Read more

I believe bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge add tremendous value to the city, including but not limited to adding to propert values and consequently tax revenues. Read more

Please don't turn the back the progress we've made to cycling infrastructure. We should be providing options and choices for everyone to choose their own transportation options. Read more

The government is sending Toronto back to the dark ages by removing pre-existing cycling infrastructure. Not only is this a huge waste of tax-payer money, but as a driver myself, I sympathize with those that commute primarily by bike. Read more

Removing bike lanes is a terrible idea and one that will cause further cyclist injuries and death in a city where we already see an alarming rate of cyclist injuries and fatalities. Read more

The provincial government shouldn’t be adding red tape and bureaucracy to slow down local governments trying to increase transportation options. I use bike lanes every day and consider them essential transportation infrastructure like sidewalks. Read more

What a ridiculous and short signed knee jerk reaction. Just because you don't see 10 cars sitting still clogging the massive lanes doesn't mean cyclists aren't using the cycling infrastructure and quickly and efficiently moving across the city using a fraction of the space. Read more

This proposal is a complete reversal of any progress towards a more equitable, sustainable or smart society. The idea that bikes lanes should be removed in favor of "just one more lane" of car traffic is absurd. Read more

This proposal is an embarrassment to our values of fiscal responsibility and limited government. We have a massive deficit, rampant waste and inefficiency and you are proposing to spend millions destroying existing infrastructure while bogging down the city in red tape?

I use bike lanes in Ottawa to move safely around the city and I also drive a car. I find it easier to drive around when cyclists have their own infrastructure and are not forced to share the roads. Read more

I am fully dumbfounded by this proposed legislation. First of all I absolutely fail to understand the provincial government's place in the road design of Toronto and other cities. I find this an overreach and extremely unnecessary. Read more
