The Provincial government should not be adding red tape and bureaucracy to municipal governments who are trying to speed up local transportation and giving people transport options.
I use bike lanes everyday and consider them essential infrastructure like sidewalks.

bike lanes are a important part of Toronto, gridlock will happen as the population increases and there will always be need for all sorts of transportation, to remove bike lanes is doing a disservice to the millions of people in Toronto, it is restricting our options and ability to travel, a reason t

this is just gruesome especially given the volume of cyclist related accidents that occur on our roads. any time ford puts something like this up, I genuinely wonder - what’s this guys angle. he’s not doing it for altruism, he’s doing it for his own gain.
Bike lanes are important to the wellbeing of myself, my family and my community. The traffic concerns will not be solved by removing bike lanes. You need to rethink developments and urban planning. Bike lanes REDUCE gridlock.
Hello, this bill is a big step back and a horrible idea overall, we should be adding bike lanes, not removing them, especially lines that are relatively well done. Removing bike lanes won't fix traffic, but adding more public transportation and safe bike lanes will do it.

I live in Sarnia and these bicycle and parking lanes have severely disrupted the safe flow of normal traffic. Not everyone can ride a bicycle to work. I think things have gone to far to meet a few select groups agenda.
Why are we removing bike lanes when it is one of the only environmentally friendly options of travel and one of the best ways to commute for lower income individuals. Bike lanes DO NOT slow down traffic. 1000s of cars all with one driver creates traffic.

As a ER nurse please do not remove the bike lanes! In order to reduce traffic we need to encourage non-car transportation like booking. Removal of bike lanes will discourage people from biking and will increase number of bike related injuries in the city.

Why is this Bill so one-sided, in favour of cars? Not everyone has access to a car. I live in Ottawa, I work from home, and I don't have time to drive my autistic young adult son everywhere. He has a part-time job and has to use the bus and LRT service to go downtown.

Dedicated bike lanes are a much needed alternative and need to remain. The data being quoted as evidence against them is inaccurate and as old as I am.

This is an incredibly disappointing proposal.
The province has no business evaluating a municipality's infrastructural needs and will only slow down a city's ability to improve infrastructure for its residents regardless of how they commute.

I am concerned about the proposed legislation that would centralize provincial control over bike lane approvals and remove existing bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave.

It is scientifically proven that increasing alternative options for transportation greatly decreases travel time for everyone involved.
Just, "adding another lane", is a short term gain long term pain plan that just increases car dependency, further increasing traffic.

Hi. I live in Markham. I commute to Toronto every day for work. The bike lanes are important for me to feel safe and secure. I know a lot of people who would love to ride their bikes more to appointments if only there were more bike lanes, especially safer ones.

This proposal is nonsensical. This city has a large cycling community, and having these bike lanes makes it much safer for cyclists, and puts less cars on the road, which actually RELIEVES congestion for cars. If this passes, it will cause so many accidents.

Bike lanes are critical infrastructure and need to be increased in cities rather than decreased. Bike lanes are PROVEN to increase the business of stores nearby them compared to parking spots. Moreover, cycling keeps people fit and healthy, reducing the load on the healthcare system.
