I do not agree with this bill. The provincial government should not be deciding what is best for the City of Toronto. Spending money to remove existing infrastructure makes no sense. Bikers are just going to bike on the road if there are no bike lanes.

Transit and bike lanes are the answer, not more cars. There is AMPLE evidence for this.
I own a car and I'm not able to cycle, but I still want bike lanes to reduce car traffic (and its associated costs and pollution) and to stop the needless deaths of cyclists.
This proposed bill is regressive and short-sighted. As a former conservative voter, I am deeply disappointed by this move. More lanes does not improve traffic conditions.

This piece of legislation will be as useful for solving gridlock as a wet newspaper will save you from the rain. There is no rationality, no data, no common sense involved in this decision.

Car dependence is ruining our cities. No one likes driving. Biking is a sustainable mode of transportation that also encourages taking transit. Bike lanes will take cars OFF the road and reduce congestion. Adding more car lanes will remove options and instead create induced demand.

The bike lanes are important to the people in the cities... it always is easy access to connect to and go places without using a car...
It is great excerise to keep fit... it is enjoyable to ride a bike... it is good for mental health to get out in the fresh air and see other people.

Removing bike lanes is a terrible idea for this city. This important infrastructure that is becoming more and more used every year and consistently becoming more of a serious mode of transportation for Torontonians.

Tearing up bike lanes is a ludicrous idea and will only add to traffic issues, and more cyclist deaths, pedestrian collisions, and in the end goes against any progress for climate change as far as reducing cars on the road.

Don't get rid of the bike lanes in the downtown core where they are frequently used. Delivery services (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc) have become an integral part of the cities' modern infrastructure, the bike lanes are needed for that to continue functioning safely.
This proposal will actively make Toronto a worse place for everyone INCLUDING people who need to drive. The more people we can get out of their cars (and onto bikes or into the TTC), the safer, the quieter, the more pleasant, the healthier our city gets.

Cyclists deserve critical safety infrastructure. Where are they to go? Should we remove sidewalks too? All road users deserve SAFE infrastructure. Complaining that bike lanes are empty is absurd when the biking corridors are not yet complete end-to-end.

It is the governments responsibility to ensure the minority vulnerable are protected - this includes pedestrians and cyclists. Removing infrastructure which protects them, is the opposite of what the government should be doing.
As a cyclist and long boarder i use bike lanes all the time. I live in the Woodbine and Danforth area. I once had a car. I sold it as soon as i had my bike for a season. Traveling around Toronto by bike is much faster than by car.

Please remove the bike lanes, they are dangerous for bikers and motorists alike. Why have them on main streets when toronto is a grid pattern and they could easily be on parallel streets
This legislation makes me livid. It is so counterintuitive to suggest removing and restricting bike lanes solves congestion. Solving congestion means providing viable alternatives to driving that are comparable in speed and safety.

This is the most ridiculous piece of legislation this government has brought forward, and that’s saying a lot after thinks like alcohol sales in convenience stores and $1 beer.
