I do not believe that the existing bike lanes along Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. should be removed. They provide vital infrastructure for bikers in downtown Toronto. Removal of bike lanes would result in greater accidents for those who continue to bike.

Removing bike lanes for cars is not going to solve traffic. Bikes already have barely any space compared to car space, and bike lanes move so many more people compared to a congested road.

The safety of roads and our citizens must be upheld. Continued efforts in building bike friendly neighborhoods will provide safer transportation for vulnerable individuals like the elderly and children.

First of all Doug Ford is using old information,
22 percent of the population are using bike lanes not 1 percent
The most compelling issue is that Ontario is not serious about keeping Drunk divers and Criminals off our roads nothing is done while fatalities and injuries go up

While the intent of removing gridlock is laudable, the mechanism for doing so by requiring provincial approval for bike lanes that remove a traffic lane is misguided and will be counter-productive in several ways.

I use these bike lanes regularly to commute. I can’t afford high rent in Toronto as well as a vehicle. Pick one: high density and public transport or low density and cars. The city is high density. The decision to remove bike lanes is not based on facts.
I'm a nursing student and I use bike lanes, including the Bloor and University bike lanes, to get to class and clinical placements. Biking is the most efficient and economical way for myself and other downtown nursing students to avoid paying expensive car parking rates.

i am against this policy. bike lane in fracture is important to many people. many of can't afford public transportation, and bike lanes make it safer for us to get around.

This bill is a bad idea. Cycling infrastructure, especially for Bloor, Yonge, and University, is built to protect cyclists where cars have killed them. The need for this infrastructure is written in blood and calculated in peoples' lives.

My family uses the bike lanes in Toronto every weekday. We don't own a car and I don't know how to drive. Instead, we have a bicycle and a bicycle trailer that we use to take our 2-year-old daughter to preschool. For the first part of the trip, we bicycle through the back streets.

I’m opposed to this legislation. There’s no evidence that bike lanes contribute to traffic. Instead, there is evidence that bike lanes are good for safety, local business, health and take cars off the road.
It's nonsense to put cyclists in danger in a city where people drive looking at their phones, change lanes without looking or signaling and overall have a poor sense of judgement.

Getting rid of the bike lanes has zero proof of any benefit. But there is huge proof of downsides if someone cares about the lives of bikers and the environment.
Also, building highways should be subject to environmental review.

As someone who doesn’t drive, taking out a means of traveling within the city doesn’t make sense—it makes biking a lot more dangerous, and undos a lot of years of infrastructure.

Removing bike lanes is a mistake. I rely on them daily—they’re essential for safety and keep roads clear for everyone. It seems Doug Ford wants to remove them for personal convenience, overlooking the needs of everyday commuters. Bike lanes make our streets safer and more efficient for all.
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that we spent so much time and money to install these lovely bike lanes that many people use to get around the city, just to spend more money to rip them up and put them in harms way. All for what??? To provide drivers with a slightly faster commute time?

I'm a 15-year-old living in midtown Toronto (North York). Most of the time, my parents are busy with work and other commitments, leaving me to get around the city for my various needs, such as getting to school, work, extracurriculars, and friends' houses.

This is an incredible waste of taxpayer dollars. As someone who lives at Bloor and Landsdowne, I am in support of the Bloor bike lanes.
I bike to work using the Bloor bike lanes.
