As a student living in Toronto and studying in Guelph, I use bike lanes every day for my commute both at home and at school and I would prefer more of them not less!

I strongly oppose removal of bike lanes. First of all, this moves us in the opposite direction of promoting the use of bikes instead of automobiles and secondly, the bike lanes keep riders safe.

I am opposed to bike lane removal and to the unnecessary obstruction of future bike lanes. This proposal assumes that bike lanes contribute to congestion when research suggests that bike lanes are beneficial to traffic.

You're arguments for doing this are already based on a bias from a car driver perspective. If bike infrastructure was better more people will bike. If you make it worse, more people will drive and fill the new lanes.

Do not remove bike lanes, they are important for safety and Vision Zero. Bike lanes provide an additional option to travel other than by car and provide point to point travel that transit is less efficient at. Also, multi-lane car traffic increases car collisions due to lane-changing by cars.
There isn't one solution to traffic, there are many independent actions needed to be taken to ensure our cities and towns can move effectively.

The provincial government should not be interfering with municipalities that are trying to improve and increase transportation options for its residents. A disconnected, unmaintained bike network is one that will receive little traffic.

Bike lanes on major city roads are essential, as me and my wife do ride downtown from Thornhill on a weekly basis to exercise and enjoy the cafe ride(distillery ) and foodies ride in the city (waterworks food hall is a great option), taking out the major bike lanes on Bloor st would discourage us to

It is unconscionable to remove bike lanes that already exist and to prevent the construction of planned bike lanes. These provide safe ways for people to commute and travel around the city, and have proven benefits to the economy, the environment, and the physical well-being of Ontarians.

This bill is a terrible idea which will result in more red tape, more congestion, and reduced road safety. Cyclists deserve to use public roadways. Forcing them to intermix with cars will have negative outcomes in terms of cycling related deaths. It will also backfire and make congestion worse.

Removing bike lanes and adding greater obstacles to their construction is not a good policy. Encouraging more people to drive intensifies gridlock and even if "One More Lane Will Fix It" ever worked from an efficiency standpoint it is bad environmental policy.

I bike down Bloor everyday on my commute to work as do so many of my colleagues. Ripping up these bike lanes would force all of us thousands and thousands of people to switch to cars or TTC which would end up making the gridlock even worse.

"Just one more lane" logic, based on zero data. How can this government claim to be fiscally conservative while ripping up infrastructure that was just built?

If you see empty lanes it’s because some of them aren’t connected to a proper network. People are always using it, and while yes it might be empty, it shows that there is enough flow of people coming in and out that proves that it’s extremely efficient.

It is reckless for the province to not consider the safety aspect of bike lanes. Removing bike lanes from Bloor and Yonge street will result in unsafe situations. Drivers do not pass bicycles with sufficient space. Accidents will happen; people will die.

Doug Ford should NOT rip out the bike lanes on Yonge, University and Bloor.
What he should do is improve them; make them safer. Some people can only get around by bike. Please don't leave them hanging.
This is the worst idea ever.
As a resident of Bay-Bloor, the addition of these bike lanes allow me to bike using bike share with more peace and ease around the city. Particularly the reach places with limited TTC access.

I am very concerned about the provincial government adding bureaucracy and red tape to bike lanes, which are being added to increase the quality of life of citizens by providing safe and cost effective alternatives to driving.
