Please review how many people bike, and if they were individual cars, how many extra cars that would be, and how that will mean even MORE traffic.

As a resident of Ontario, I find this act to be a complete over reach, and does not respect the autonomy of municipal government in making decision that is good for itself.
This proposed Act is irresponsible and is an extreme example of an overreaching government meddling in municipal affairs when it is not needed.

Bike lanes have largely been a great addition to Toronto. They could be improved in some areas, but that should be the city’s responsibility, not the province’s. I bike my kids to school and I bike to work. I also drive when I need to, and I use transit.

Ripping out the lanes already installed incurs a cost and those funds are better used for healthcare and education purposes. This is a municipal issue. Stick to your jurisdiction.

This proposal is, quite frankly, rediculous. The fact that it would even be proposed is a sad reflection of the ignorance of our government.
In addition, it acts as a massive overreach from the provincial government, as local infrastructure like this is municipal jurisdiction.
This is a bad idea that does not make sense, will not achieve the goals it's designed to achieve, and is essentially a step backwards for the province.

I do not support this bill as it is not based on evidence. What studies have been done to support this notion that removing bike lanes benefits commuters? Rather than blocking bike lanes, we should be figuring out how to improve them so that cyclists and drivers can commute safely and efficiently.
I use bike lanes several times a week and I think they’re a crucial part of our towns and cities. I don’t live in a big town, I live in a suburb in the outer GTA and the bike lanes I have access to are so important to me.

Please leave decisions on bike lanes to the municipalities. I do not believe there is any proof that they increase gridlock, which is more likely caused by poor service in other forms if public transportation.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the Province of Ontario’s decision to restrict and remove bike lanes in various municipalities.

I demand evidence from this government that this will not worsen traffic in my neighbourhood by putting bikes into car lanes and/or adding vehicle traffic from people who might otherwise bike
Bike lanes save lives and improve traffic for drivers and cyclists alike based on the available research. Removing bike lanes on major and/or minor streets will waste tax payer money and increase risks to cyclists.

Evidence and data show that bike lanes reduce congestion over time. For example, see https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/bike-lanes-impacts-1.7358319

More people riding bikes means fewer people in cars.
Even if bike lanes weren't a solution to congestion, which they can be, people on bikes deserve to have a safe way to get to work.
