As a resident of Ontario I am thoroughly against this bill. I remember when the government rolled out the gas tax reduction in 2022, something I often heard then was we needed to reduce the price of gas because people 'had no choice but to drive'.

Hi - just wanted to express concern for this bill. I'm a motorist, I sometimes cycle, I take transit and I sometimes walk. I believe the best path forward for our province is to provide road users with options.

This proposal is outrageous and uneducated. Bike lanes do not cause traffic, cars cause traffic. Getting people out of cars is what will reduce traffic. One person in their gigantic SUV takes up several times more space than one person on a bike.

The government of Ontario should not be adding red tape and bureaucracy to limit transportation options for the people of Ontario. Bike lanes have significant cost-saving, environmental, and public health benefits that would be destroyed along with their removal.

That is the stupidest proposition I ever heard. Bike lanes improve people's time as they reduce congestion. It also encourages physical activity, which, in return, helps people stay healthy. Bike lanes are a right; instead of destroying them, there should be more of them.

This Bill is counter productive and ignores all the data and research showing the path to reduce congestion. It also would allow skipping steps on building Highway 413 where a project like this is exactly why we have these steps.

We would like to go on record asking the government NOT to pass legislation preventing new bike lanes and removing existing bike lanes in Ontario.

Please don’t remove any existing bike lanes. I, and many others, consider them essential transportation infrastructure for commuting and day-to-day life. I personally use the Bloor and University bike lanes daily, and see them busy year round.

The removal of the Toronto bike lanes is a policy travesty and a waste of money.
First and foremost, if the premier wants to be mayor of Toronto, he should do what everyone else has done in the past and run for the mayoralty of the city.

I vehemently oppose the removal of bike lanes in Toronto. I am an avid cyclist in the city and I feel safer when protected on bike lanes than before they were implemented.

1. Why are you adding more red tape and bureaucracy to our municipal processes when you've gone ahead and created a Ministry of Red Tape Reduction?
2. If there are no bike lanes, then cyclists are going to be in my car lane and slowing down my driving speed.

I am deeply frustrated by this bill. As someone who relies on bike lanes daily, I view them as essential infrastructure for safety and mobility. Removing these lanes only increases vulnerability for cyclists like myself.

I am a frequent driver on Toronto and Ontario roads, and occasional cyclist and I strongly oppose the proposed legislation, especially as it pertains to limiting, reducing, or even removing cycling infrastructure in Ontario. I oppose these actions for the following reasons:

The Act is a huge step towards the past. It will undermine our future. Removing bike lanes is clearly an attempt to push for more urban sprawl. By removing bike options we encourage car use. We therefore encourage more space for cars - to park them at work, home, and in other spaces.

The decision to remove bike lanes in Toronto goes directly against the stated goal of reducing congestion. Many of the cities across the globe that have the lowest rates of vehicle congestion also have the largest bike lane networks.
