I was alarmed to learn of this proposed legislation. Removal of the three bike lanes is wasteful and illogical, and removes choices from Toronto commuters. Congestion has been awful for decades, and the only effect of these bike lanes was to provide a safe alternative to sitting in gridlock. Read more

As someone who now commutes by bike most days, I find this this Bill completely out of touch with reality and threatening to every citizen’s ability to choose their preferred mode of transportation in this province. Read more

Bike lanes are essential infrastructure that I use to get around town safely on the daily. Bike lanes actually help reduce traffic and forcing their removal will reduce my communities' quality of life.

This Bill is a gross overreach in power. Making our cities safer for bikers and pedestrians is essential to creating a better Ontario. I urge members of the provincial government to consider voting against this Bill for the health of your cities.

I have travelled through most of the major European cities and without exception they maintain arterial roads of at least 4 lanes right to the city center. Bike riders are exceptionally courteous and almost always follow the rules of the road. Read more

I find this proposal extremely baffling. Not only will it fail to accomplish its stated goals, but it will be a waste of tax payer dollars likely serving to exacerbate current congestion levels. Read more

This proposed legislation concerning restriction and removal on bicycle lanes in Ontario is terrible and will result in injury and death to cyclists on the streets of Ontario cities. It’s is an intrusion of the province into municipal urban and traffic planning. Read more

I’m writing to express my concern about the potential for added red tape that could hinder local governments’ efforts to enhance transportation options. As someone who relies on bike lanes every day, I see them as essential infrastructure, no different from sidewalks. Read more

Very much in favor of this bill; the gridlock particularly on main arterial roads that have been brought down to one lane for bike lanes is ridiculous. It snows half the year, it blocks emergency vehicles when you have these "separated" bike lanes and they can't get around traffic. Read more
