Playing politics with peoples lives is so low, so draconian. Doug flies in his private helicopter to the Muskokas while me and my family get run down by suburbanites on my own street just because 'we don't like bicycles.' What is this all about? Rob was way nicer.

I am writing to express my strong support for the preservation and expansion of bike lanes in Toronto and to urge the Ontario government to continue investing in and supporting cycling infrastructure across our province. Read more

The bike lanes should be kept. This is important for keeping down congestion in the downtown area, particularly as there are many commuters, students, workers, delivery services, and more people that use the bike lanes along University, Bloor, and Yonge. Read more

Why??? Literally what is gained by doing this? Removal of existing bike lanes will only *worsen* congestion - every person on a bike is a car off the roads, meaning less congestion. That's how traffic works! Literally city planning 101! Read more

This is a ridiculous proposal. It is true there is a crippling traffic problem in Toronto, and to a lesser degree in other cities across Ontario, but reducing access to ALTERNATE forms of transport is counterintuitive and shortsighted. Read more

Getting Rid of bike lanes will only induce more traffic and therefore make gridlock worse. the people in biking in those bike lanes are off to the side and not majorly effecting traffic, especial compared to if they were in a car instead. Read more

This proposed bill is ridiculous. It is turning back the clock on all of the amazing progress that has been made to help improve biking infrastructure and make roads much safer for cyclists, drivers and pedestrians alike. Read more

No matter how you feel about bikes, bike lanes, safety, or travel times, using my tax dollars to undo infrastructure that has literally just been completed is ABSURD. Read more

I whole heartedly do not agree with this proposal. First, I believe the emphasis should be on working to make the province less vehicle focused, especially in urban centres. Read more

Removing the bike lanes is just a temporary solution for the gridlock. As it’s an urban city with a high immigration rate, traffic and driving are no longer safe. This action could lead to injuries or even fatalities for cyclists. We don’t need temporary fixes; we need a better vision.

This is one of the most egregious and foolish bills I’ve ever witnessed in my entire time living in Toronto, which spends over 20 years. Not only does this do detrimental damage to the health of citizens, but also does no good for the climate as well as the structure of the cities commute. Read more

As an Ottawa resident who relies on cycling for transportation, I strongly oppose this bill. It would put me and countless others at risk of injury or death by undermining the safety of our roads. Read more
