We do NOT need more cars and lanes for cars. We are clogged as it is! We need bike lanes - physically separated from both cars and pedestrians. (Take a look at the streets in Denmark and Netherlands) AND we need wider sidewalks (and keep the bikes and e-scooters off the sidewalks) Read more

Bikes lanes are under utilized, add to the traffic congestion in TO, eliminate much needed street parking and hamper productivity, especially for small businesses. Bikes don’t move industry, cars do. Bikes lanes need to be removed from major arterial roads in the city and traffic lanes restored. Read more

This is such a backwards facing bill. With the increase in population in Toronto. Biking infrastructure is the future to avoiding grid lock, improving the health of the population and elevating toronto as a future facing city. Read more

I am a homeowner in Toronto, I do not ride a bicycle, I own two cars, and I am vehemently opposed to this proposed legislation. I fully support existing and new bike lanes. Read more

I do not support this act. Bike lanes are proven to improve congestion and alleviate car traffic especially in dense areas. Not to mention more people biking results in better air quality, less noise pollution, and is SAFER. Please reconsider.

I would like to affirm my strong opposition to this proposal. If passed, this will make building proper cycling infrastructure significantly more difficult and even forcibly rip out existing bike lanes which tens of thousands of people actively depend on. Read more

Removing critical bike lines for more car lanes is abhorrent and misguided. Removing the bike lane would simply make traffic worse because cars would have to swerve to avoid the cyclists. Dangerous and stupid. I hope the government is prepared to have the blood of cyclists on their hands.

Bike lanes do not cause congestion what so ever. I am a regular downtown driver and I WANT bike lanes. We need more bike lanes, it saves lives and makes my driving easier, i don't have to worry about weaving around bikers. I love the bike lanes and need them to stay. Read more

This is a terrible idea for many reasons. It is a waste of tax dollars to remove bike lanes which are used every day by many commuters. The environmental repercussions for removing NEW bike lanes is another reason to reconsider this proposal. Read more

This is very disappointing. After years of construction to put in bike lanes, we are going to do more construction to remove them. The bike lane on Bloor street is always busy, and removing it would be a huge hazard and danger for bikers. Read more

I am in favour of this Bill. I am opposed to any further bike lanes in Hamilton that take away lanes used by cars. The lower City already has enough gridlock which will only get worse with planned changes to Main and King streets. Further bike lanes will benefit few people and inconvenience many. Read more

If you want to improve traffic flow on major city streets, remove on-street parking! This is by far the biggest contributor to traffic and accidents, putting pedestrians, drivers and cyclists at risk. Removing on-street parking will add a whole lane to major city streets (I.e. Read more

Toronto's current bikelane infrastructure is essential to providing a safe, convenient method of travel for city residents. My rent is so astronomically high that I cannot afford to own a car, nor do I have a parking spot for a car. Read more

Bike lanes are a critical component of the infrastructure for a city. While removing them may help reduce gridlock for vehicles, it will ultimately hinder the progress towards zero-emissions. Read more
