I live in downtown Toronto. I use bike lanes everyday to commute to work and do my day to day tasks. Bike lanes keep me healthy. Bike lanes keep me safe from other vehicles on the road. Bike lanes and bike networks help people of lower classes have the freedom to commute. Read more

1. I am vehemently opposed to the creation of bureaucracy and red tape where none existed before. This measure is the exact opposite of what conservatism stands for. Read more

I use the bike corridor on bloor and university nearly every day. Most of the people I know who live in the city also use these bike lanes regularly. Very few people I know who live downtown drive - and I say that as a driver myself! Read more

Very obvious to me that this Bill is pandering to one man specifically, since two of the major streets that are being proposed for bike lane abolishment represent his commute from Etobicoke to work. Read more

From every possible perspective, I am totally against the move to reduce bike lanes in Toronto and to allow the provincial government to dictate how municipalities govern their communities in this regard. Read more

This proposal is absurd. The bike lanes allow other options for safe modes of transportation for commuters and actually remove people from being in cars, reducing congestion for those who absolutely need to be in vehicles. Read more

Toronto needs more bike lanes and safe cyclist passage. Rather than just getting rid of the bike lanes established on pavement, Toronto would do well to look to the netherlands as an example, and have separate raised pavement for cyclists only, besides the sidewalks, as well as traffic lights.

It's actions like this where I am ashamed to be canadian. Removing basic safety infrastructure, as well as limiting options for mobility is a step backwards for us. Read more

Why waste money in ripping out these bike lanes when they are critical structure to reduce congestion in the city. If you take the bike lanes out, it will encourage more people to take their car and cause more congestion on the road. Read more

In this environmental crisis, it is absolutely vital for the safety of citizens to re-imagine the ways we move in the city. Removing bike lanes would be a threat to our safety, our well-being, and to our futures. Read more

From a government that touts fiscal responsibility, it is ludicrous to spend millions of dollars to remove already installed cycling infrastructure when the future of commuting in our increasingly dense cities is often micro-mobility. Read more

This is a major overreach of the provincial government. The municipal governments are much better equipped to know the communities they serve and the local infrastructure that is best suited to their needs. Read more

The proposed removal of bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University is an incredible oversight, especially after the city spent so much time and effort on creating a model bike lane on University. Read more
