Toronto needs alternate options to cars! Having a bicycle and a bike lane will save me time and allows me to use my bike with my kid safely! Using a bike in our crowded city saves me a lot of time, helps me gets things done efficiently and keeps me moving my body to stay fit at the same time.

I think this is counterproductive and goes against progressive ideas that we are trying to put forward in Ontario, around ecology and accessibility. This proposal, and especially with the economic reasons that are being put forward, does not make sense.

This is the worst initiative in decades. Please stop this nonsense and let the experts really dictate what the city and the province needs. Please understand what induced demand means and focus on building better multi-modal infrastructure.

There are so many ignorant aspects to this proposal - taking the environment into consideration ? How can you even state that? Your highway proposals and bike lane removals to benefit polluters and destroy the natural environment? Stupid!

This policy shocked me as provinces in no way should be interfering with something SO local to Toronto, our bike lanes. Although I am not a cyclist, I would like to cycle, but in the suburbs of Toronto, there are not enough bike lane connections to get me far.

Please do not spend money to *remove* things that already exist.
It’s one thing to pivot strategy and not approve additional lanes but what a colossal waste of money to demo stuff.

I don't think this bill goes far enough.
Have we considered removing the sidewalks to add another lane of car traffic? It would make more sense to have the pedestrians just walk on the road with all the cars. Some of the pedestrians would die, but I drove so I would be ok.

This proposed law is another example of a government tangent to meddle at the micro level that distracts from their actual job - looking after the big picture.

Bike lanes provide scientifically supported benefits to cities. Research indicates that dedicated bike lanes significantly reduce cycling-related injuries, contributing to safer road conditions.

I disagree with this new proposal. We should encourage people to bike more, and we can only do this by making biking safer. So many people drive to work and stores even though they live 10k or less away...this needs to stop.

Please don’t remove the bike lanes- Biking is a healthy, environmentally conscious means of commuting. I live and work downtown and have visited a number of major cities in the last few years.

The proposal to remove bike lanes is a disingenuous attack on the City of Toronto, and on cyclists. Recall that the Premier's brother mocked and berated Torontonians who use bicycles as "Pinkos".

This is a terrible proposal that will not affect traffic congestion. By making the ride wider and getting rid of these bike lanes you will just incentivize more people to drive, clogging up said lanes.

I have been cycling to work for 20 years. I see the difference that putting in bike lanes has made -- the number of cyclists on the road during my daily commute has increased 100-fold. I bike year-round and others do too because the snow in Toronto doesn't stay on the roads long .

Very disturbing that the premier wants to take out the bike lanes. Transportation is very expensive so we need to provide SAFE options for people to get around the city. Let alone the health benefits to lessen the burden on our healthcare system.

No do not cancel bike lanes. Removing bike lanes is not the answer. Reducing the number of cars on the road is the answer. Stop building car centric communities. While you are at it, no right turn on a red light. Make drivers responsible for cyclists and pedestrians.
