removal of bike lanes is senseless and will result in cyclist deaths. who will that person be? your child? your parent? your neighbour? your friend?

This is a gross over reach of a CONSERVATIVE government. The municipalities can decide for themselves! A government should not revert a municipal decision regarding their own streets, especially a conservative one.

I strongly oppose this bill for several reasons.
1. There is no evidence that reducing traffic lanes will increase traffic, and in fact all available evidence suggests reducing traffic lanes actually reduces traffic (see link), so this bill does not solve the problem it claims to solve

Removing bike lanes would be a huge mistake in my opinion. I'm not sure why we are not disincentivizing private cars using the downtown Toronto area. In my opinion, cars and transit sharing a lane contributes to the traffic problem far more than having bike lanes does.

Absolutely ridiculous proposal. The bike lanes reduce traffic by providing a non-car option to those who can use it. Even if the province removes the lanes, the City will rebuild them in a few years anyways. Stay out of Toronto's affairs!
We need bike lanes. Especially on Young - I used Young with my bike frequently and I believe it is an important lane. Forcing bike lane approvals by provincial means rather than by cities is ill advised.

Please do not tear up the bike lanes. I am primarily a driver in Toronto (living in Etobicoke/York) and have a child entering the solo public transit& biking years (i.e., tween-teenage years).

This comment, that I endorse, has been originally written and signed by 120 physicians and researchers from the University of Toronto.
Legislation that guides road design must prioritize safety over travel times

Removing bike lanes on critical stretches of roads spanning across Toronto when they were just recently added makes absolutely no sense. It's a misuse of public funds, and removing bike lanes is not in the best interest of public safety and public health.

1) The provincial government shouldn't be adding regulations on city transportation.
2) Removing bike lanes will decrease the city's transportation options. How to get around the city should be each person's choice, not the federal government's.
3) Bike lanes provide safety for road users.

Do not do this. We want these lanes, we want less cars on our roads. There is a mountain of evidence to support that people want these lanes. The only people who don't want them are the people who don't live here.

This is a really stupid idea! Bike lanes are not the cause of congestion and their removal will only lead to more cars on the road and more injuries/people killed.

This is a really regressive policy that is not only fiscally irresponsible, but also an attack on those of us with mobility issues. I'm supportive of Doug Ford but this is a bridge too far and if this passes I will not be able to vote for him.
Thank you. Its about time!! Can happen fast enough!!!!!!
As someone who has to drive in to work downtown on a daily basis and has seen the traffic come to a stand still as bike lanes cause majority of the issues. Yes, construction is an issue but there always has been construction.

It makes no sense to remove existing bike lanes for many reasons. They safe and save lives, encourages and enables more people to get out of their cars and reduce pollution/carbon emission while creating a healthy lifestyle.

Most major cities have comprehensive transportation and bike paths. Sometimes they have pedestrian only streets. This man and government keeps treating canada's biggest city like an ugly little suburb that wont go forward. Toronto should be designed for people that live there, NOT commuters.

This proposal is bogus, you can’t reduce “gridlock” by adding more lanes of traffic. The only way is to remove cars from the road and one way to do that is to make it safer to bike.
Leave bike lanes up to the city. Stay in your lane
