I know this legislation is beyond logic, democracy, and the greater public interest, so I will keep it simple: I will swing my next vote away from the Ford government in protest. I want to safely bike in Toronto and ditch the car. This is bill does not help me.

Bike lanes are ESSENTIAL for safe cities and offering people alternatives to driving. ADDING LANES DOES NOT REDUCE TRAFFIC. This has been proven over and over again. Congestion will only increase and the city will get louder and less pleasant to exist in. Read more

This is honestly ridiculous. Doug Ford is pushing this bill based on feeling rather than fact. Hamstringing a growing cycling infrastructure is one way to ensure people only drive, adding to congestion. Also why is the premier so insistent on becoming the super mayor of Toronto? Read more

This is a major step back for alternative means of transportation in Toronto. As someone who uses these bike lanes regularly, replacing them with yet another lane of car traffic is the wrong thing to do.

This bill disregards the countless studies that demonstrate the importance of pedestrian and bicyclist infrastructure. I was only able to attend school in Toronto because of direct and easy-to access bikes, particularly on Bloor St. Read more

I urge an amendment to exempt bike lanes on low-volume streets and prioritize direct routes for cyclists. Removing bike lanes adds cars to the road, limiting transportation options and increasing congestion for everyone. Read more

This bill is absurd, bike lanes make it so that i don't need to own a car to live and can save a lot of money, without risking my neck. Cars on average cost over $16,000/year in canada according to a 2024 study. That amount of extra expense every year is simply impossible to fit into most budgets. Read more

Doug Ford, the person that proposed this act, has square root of -1 intelligence and are just doing this for political gains. Bike lanes SAVE LIVES. Doug Ford is willing to sacrifice HUMAN LIVES to advance his political games. Read more

As a driver, I don't want bikes in my lane—it is less safe for me and for them. Bikes slow me down, increasing congestion for cars behind me. Having them moved to separate bike lanes speeds up my commute by getting bikes out of my way. Read more

Toronto has recently added bike lanes to the section of Eglinton Avenue near my home. I am a 74 year old, with arthritis in my knees and very much depend on my car to get me around the city and my neighbourhood. Read more

This Bill is based on backwards thinking. The way forward is via better public transit and both bicycle-friendly and pedestrian-friendly ways to navigate the city. Make the city more car friendly will only help traffic temporarily. Read more

(1) Removing bike lanes means cyclists will take up a full lane of traffic rather than half a lane, this will slow down cars and the number of accidents will go up. Read more

Horrible to be removing bike lanes in some of the busiest areas in the city. What about the many Torontonian’s who don’t have cars and rely on these bike lanes to safely get to work, shop, exercise or enjoy city attractions? Read more
