This is absolutely insane that bike lanes are being removed. There was a cyclist who was crushed infront of me this summer on Bloor St. This should not be allowed, Doug Ford does not live downtown and or ride a bike.

The provincial government should not be adding red tape to municipal transportation plans that increase transportation options. Ontarions should be allowed to develop their local communities as best suites them.

I am vehemently against the notion of ripping out existing bike lanes. The money was already spent to install them, now more taxpayer money is going to be used to remove them? What a gross misuse of funds.

I use my bike to commute to work every day for so many years . The bike lanes are a life saver. Please DO NOT remove the bike lanes that won’t change the traffic at all. The problem is the Construction 🚧 going on everywhere and the cars parked on both sides of the streets.

A robust bike network is essential for reducing Toronto's congestion in the long run. Tearing out existing lanes from a maturing network is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
This bill actively makes Toronto worse for everyone, whether they bike or drive.
Cut the red tape. Give people choice.

Reducing bicycle infrastructure will not reduce gridlock. Traffic is caused by cars not bikes. The province should not be micromanaging city infrastructure and creating a new bureaucracy to do so.

Getting rid of bike lanes will not get rid of bikes, it just pushes them into the road and taking a lane. This makes it unsafe for cyclists and a hazard for drivers. As a cyclist, my safety is more sure in a bike lane. As a driver, I want bike lanes.

I strongly oppose this bill in its entirety.
Traffic on municipal roadways is a municipal decision and should be treated accordingly.
Removing progressive, paid for, equitable infrastructure that has been bought and paid for is an irresponsible use of taxpayer dollars.

My granddaughter and I are safer with the bike lanes on Bloor, Avenue Road and University. When I drive, my trips are impacted by construction and bad drivers, not by bike paths and I feel safer knowing that cyclists are protected from me.
1 - A cyclist died this years on Bloor street. Removing cyclists lanes would increase the risk of fatal accidents. It should be improved to protected lanes instead.

I use the separated Bloor St West bike lane (between Dufferin and St George) for my daily commute to and from work. The bike lane provides me with a safe, efficient commuting option, and the ride is my principal source of exercise.

I am both a driver and a biker in the city of Toronto and I was very happy to see the addition of many bike lanes as part of prioritizing safety for bikers since the pandemic. It’s about time sage bike lanes were added. More and more people can now be safer on their daily commute.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed removal of the bicycle lanes on Bloor Street. As a frequent user of these lanes, I believe their elimination would have serious negative implications for our community, local businesses, and the city as a whole.

I'm surprised that a common-sense government is introducing new red-tape into the process of planning for our municipalities.
I bike and drive interchangeably, and as a cyclist I want to feel safe on the road and as a driver I want to not have to weave around drivers.

There is a preponderance of evidence that the addition or restoration of road lanes for motor vehicle traffic induces demand artificially and worsens congestion. There is a demonstrated need for protected infrastructure for non-motorized traffic in Toronto and other cities in Ontario.

Do not remove bike lanes in Toronto. This is an essential mode of transit that: is healthy, doesn't create pollution, doesn't kill people, anyone at any age can do it, takes up less space, is cheaper to buy, is cheap to do, creates less noise...
