As a casual cyclist who bikes to run errands around the city, as well as commuting occasionally, the last thing the city needs is fewer bike lanes.

Removing the very limited bike lanes that we have in the city is absolutely absurd in this day and age. Really??? To add lanes for polluting cars?

The provincial government shouldn't be adding more red-tape and hoops for infrastructure. City officials should be free to make changes to their city without the province stepping in.

Stop this please. You don’t need to look very far to find studies about how bike lanes do not add to traffic congestion.
Bike lanes saves lives. They also are kind to our climate, boost small businesses, and help traffic flow better.

Toronto is already very unsafe for cyclists. Without further development of bike lanes, more cyclists will die. The blood of those dead cyclists will be in your hands. Consider this carefully when you make your decisions.
Hello,
I love biking and prefer it to driving, especially down main corridors where traffic can be so congested (even before the bike lanes were added). It would be extremely sad to see such useful bike lanes removed.

DO NOT REMOVE ANY BIKE LANES. REMOVAL OF THESE BIKE LANES = PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER.
THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE STUDIES THAT SHOW BIKE LANES:
INCREASE BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND REVENUE
DECREASE ACCIDENTS
DECREASE GRIDLOCK

Please, please don't do this. I rely on cycling as my main mode of transportation. I need bike lanes. The lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. are essential, I use all three of them nearly daily. Not all of us are wealthy enough to afford cars.

Removal of bike lanes will do nothing to improve gridlock, and will further reduce our options for getting around the city. We need to have bike lanes for the safety of motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.

To begin with, where is the data that backs up the proposal to "remove sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes" would reduce gridlock?

As a life-long cyclist (60 years in Toronto), I have biked hundreds of thousands of kilometers in multiple cities in the world. Toronto - and Ontario - lag FAR behind in terms of appropriate infrastructure of CHOICE in safe transportation.

The move to rip out recently built bike lanes represents a significant waste of taxpayer money, undoing decades of hard work and investments into transportation infrastructure.

Adding more bureaucratic red tape is the opposite of "common sense conservatism". Municipalities are wholly responsible for their own infrastructure; whether they choose to diversify transportation infrastructure is entirely their own prerogative. This should not be impeded by the province.

It is extremely important to keep bike lanes in the city. With them, more people are encouraged to bike because it’s safer. And when more people bike, there is less traffic.

I use the Bloor bike lane as a cyclist EVERY WEEK DAY to get to work. Removing this lane will put me and many other's like me in danger. I have no option to drive a car. I don't own a car, and public transit is extremely inconvenient for the route I have to take.

This is an absurd proposal, I have trouble putting in to words how frustrating it is to have your provincial government make such a ridiculous, counterproductive suggestion.

This is completely ridiculous. The Premier, on a nonsensical and anti-fact crusade against bikes, is attempting to reverse years of progress we've made in infrastructure improvements.
