I think the removal of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes is a waste of tax payer dollars. I live in the Toronto downtown core, and bike every time to work, and dedicated bike lanes are how I do so safely and quickly. Read more

"We have to do everything we can to make sure there’s never a death in the city. One death is way too many when it comes to bicycle riders. We have to make sure that they’re safe."  Read more

This proposal favors motor vehicle users and downplays the significance of pedestrians and cyclists by presenting the need for enhanced provincial control over bicycle lane allocation and removal solely as a consequence of traffic lane reduction. Read more

Hi I live in Etobicoke and I'm very disappointed with this legislation as a young person (21yo) cars are extremely expensive, cost of a vehicle, insurance, fuel, maintenance. Because of this I rely on other transit to get myself around, walking, TTC, and sometimes biking. (I do drive for work btw) Read more

This is a bill that will kill and harm people who want to travel by bike while protecting motorists who supposedly need to move through the city just a little quicker. Please consider removing street parking from the three proposed street changes. Motorists can park on side streets, can't they? Read more

Removing existing infrastructure that encourages a non-polluting form of transit while keeping people safe is the kind of wasteful backwards spending I have come to expect from the Ford government. Does this government really think that by eliminating bike lanes cyclists will simply disappear? Read more

I cycle every day. I need the bike lanes to keep me safe. Gridlock will be eliminated by getting people out of the cars and using public transportation and other forms of transportation.

People will die if bike lanes are removed. There will be more traffic if bike lanes are removed, because those people will get into cars. Also it will take years to remove them = more traffic. This is a waste of time and government resources. Read more

https://www.tvo.org/article/debunking-three-big-myths-about-bike-lanes I cycled for years on University and did not feel safe. Now because of the bike lanes I do. If the option is there people will bike and drive less. Read more

This is one of the worst things I have ever seen from the Provincial government and will change the way I vote. 1) Ripping out infrastructure will create more short term gridlock than it would be worth. Read more

I urge you not to introduce the proposed Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 legislation. This legislation is a step backward and will not reduce gridlock. Read more

This legislation will kill people. More and more people are using bikes to get around, for all sorts of reasons. Whether it is cost, environmental concerns, convenience, exercise, or a combination, people should have access to protected bike lanes that take them where they want to go. Read more

The government needs to be funding efficient and green means of transportation such as rail, bus, and cycling infrastructure. Adding more cars to roads causes more congestion. This will only increase congestion and CO2 emissions. Shame on Doug Ford and his Government.
