This is very disappointing, and sets us back many years of great progress. Everyone deserves safe transit options, and for many people, that includes cycling. Decisions for bike infrastructure within cities have no business being ruled over by the provincial government.

The writers of this proposal clearly have no information about either induced demand or vulnerable road users. As well, this requires that the Provincial government approve some matters that are better managed within municipal governments. Back to school with these writers. Read more

How upsetting this idea is! Not only do bike lanes save lives and help prevent accidents and injury, but those bikers are using fewer cars that clog up the roads. Read more

This proposal is devastating for congestion in the city with increased gridlock to follow and the deaths of many cyclists. Not to mention the costs of removing these lanes which have been some of the greatest successes in Toronto infrastructure in decades. Read more

This is a wasteful proposal without any merit. Mr. Ford has not produced any data that shows bike lanes cause congestion, instead saying "we all know it." That's laziness. If he had done any actual work on this bill, he would know that's simply not true. Read more

This does not make any sense. We should be implementing measures that actively try to reduce the number of cars on the roads instead of encouraging more people to drive downtown. Read more

As an Ontario resident, this is an insane proposal wasting my tax dollars. I don't cycle, but even I can see that bike lanes are great - keeps the cyclists off the road so that I can drive without worrying about hitting them. They also make it easier to bike so that fewer people need to drive. Read more

I strongly disagree with the removal of bike lanes from Toronto streets. As a cyclist, the bike lanes incentivize me to bike instead of drive to my destination and make it safer for me to bike instead of sharing the lane with cars. Read more

Cycling is one of the cheapest forms of transit and can be faster than public transit and cars when in the GTA. Instead of bike lanes being removed, more should be built, so the biking network can grow. Read more

I am strongly opposed toBill 112, the Ford government's plan to rip out hard won bike lanes. As a tax payer and a senior, I would expect that an elected government would make decisions based on in depth study and consultation with constituents. None of this has been done. Read more

Bike lanes provide access for people to more safely traverse in an environmentally friendly manner and also allows people without access to cars to be able to go from one destination to another. Creating car dependent infostructure only increases the traffic on the roads. Read more

As a Toronto taxpayer, I support bike lanes because they provide safer, dedicated spaces for cyclists, which can reduce accidents and improve road safety for everyone. Read more

This legislation is bad, poorly thought out and dangerous. It will make the city a worse and more dangerous place. It will do nothing to solve gridlock. It is the proper place of the city government to decide on bike lanes not the province. Read more

I couldn’t disagree more with the proposed removal of bike lanes on Bloor and Yonge street. I took advantage of these bikes lanes this summer and felt safe knowing they were designated to cyclists. Surely there must be other solutions to reduce gridlock. Read more
