I am very much opposed to this Bill. I support bike lanes. Eliminating them will not improve traffic and make conditions for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists more dangerous.
6 years ago I moved to Yonge and Sheppard and used to cycle quite a bit. I donated my bicycle because this area is very unsafe to cycle in. Since then I have been driving more. How is removing bike lanes going to help.

As a regular driver in downtown Toronto, I have noticed a significant decrease in my stress of driving since the new bike lanes have been installed.

This bill proposal fundamentally misunderstands the concept of induced demand.
Bike lanes don't add to gridlock - having a city that has car transportation as its only viable mobility option during a populatioin boom results in gridlock.

I am beyond disappointed by the government's proposal to remove bike lanes from important routes in Toronto and make it more difficult for Ontario cities to install such important infrastructure. I grew up in Oshawa.

I'll tell you what removing bike lanes on Yonge St, Avenue Rd and Bloor St will do for this household. It will take 4 bikes off the road, and put 2 cars back on the road. My family - with members aged 77, 52, 16 and 14 - lives in midtown Toronto.

Eliminating safe cycling infrastructure will increase accidents, increase insurance rates, increase the burden on 1st responders and OHIP. It will also force more people to own cars thereby increasing the traffic problem, no the TTC will not help pick up the slack.

I oppose the Ontario Provincial Government’s removal of bike lanes and the added requirement for municipalities to seek provincial approval before implementing new bike lanes that replace an existing traffic lane.

Removing bike lanes is the most haenous idea possible. We are facing the consequences of Global Warming and finding ways to reduce our carbon foot print are essential to the future of our planet and generations to come.

This proposal ignores the very real effects of an increase in bike accidents, which can be fatal to the bikers. Bike lanes also means that Toronto can be healthier, people can leisure bike and/commute to work, there are a lot of health benefits to biking.

I am absolutely stunned by this proposal.
There are so few safe routes for bikes to take across the city - these being some of the key ones - and now there's plans to remove them?

Removing bike lanes? What kind of hair brained idea is this to move back in time? Start with replacing streetcars that halt FAR MORE traffic that the VERY FEW dedicated bike lanes we have.

Is this 1985? Bike lanes are exactly what the downtown city centre needs. If you rip out bike lanes, I will immediately cease all support to the Conservative party. This is sad to read.
Decisions like this should be made by the people that live in the city - at the city/municipal level. It directly influences the people that live there so they should be the one to have the say.
