Bike lanes not only make cycling safer, but they create an alternative route for community for thousands for people. Without bike lanes, traffic gets worse and biking becomes more dangerous.

I am a cyclist, pedestrian, driver and transit rider in East Toronto/ Scarborough. I use the Martin Goodman Trail and Carlaw, Cherry, Simcoe and Commissioners bike lanes for almost 6 months a year. Daily!

This bill is at odds with research and data that shows that bike lanes help to decrease traffic by removing cars off the road. There is a low percentage of cyclists on the roads, because most cities do not have safe infrastructure to do so.

I voice my absolute disapproval for this piece of legislation, here are my thoughts and some proposed solutions to our ongoing transportation issues in this province.
1. The Fundamental Premise of the Bill is Deeply Flawed.

I’m a resident of Toronto, a commuter often by car, and I want to keep our bike lanes. I want it to be safer for bike riders on our streets, and I am very irritated that our Premier is meddling with our municipal affairs when his attention and our tax dollars could be better spent elsewhere.
As a conservative I think this proposal is an embarrassing display for red tape and big government. The current party will not get my vote next year as they keep acting like a nanny state.
Municipalities should be in charge of their own decisions bar none.
I voted for Doug Ford to eliminate red tape and stop wasteful spending. This adds more red tape to municipal planning, and wastes more tax payer money. The more the province funds in transit, the less bike lanes would be needed.

I live in Toronto and see for myself, on a daily basis, the various streets and roads in Toronto. Since the announcement, I have paid alot of attention to traffic and our roadways. Lets use Yonge Street as an example.

I do not in any way support this proposal.
It is not based on sound evidence. Paris downtown had increased commerce and faster traffic of all types with bike lanes.
It is counter to environmental responsibility.
It intrudes on local jurisdiction.
It spends money better spent elsewhere.

I object to any plan to rip up existing bicycle lanes. It is wasteful of our taxes to spend money to remove infrastructure that is an improving our lives. The bicycle lanes in Ottawa and Toronto were installed following careful review and detailed planning.

I would prefer if bike lanes did not require approval from the province. I live in North York where we suffer from a lack of transit options. Where bicyclists are forced to compete with pedestrians on the sidewalk and cars on the roads, which impacts everyone negatively.

This bill will add red tape to municipal projects, slowing them down and increasing their cost. It would also make it more difficult for municipalities to provide transportation options other than driving.

Bike lanes are essential for creating a livable, people-centered city. A city is more than just cars moving from point A to point B; it’s about providing spaces that support people’s quality of life, health, and connection to their surroundings.

As a resident of Swansea who lives near Bloor St. West, I support the removal of the bike lanes that were recently installed on Bloor St. W, especially from Jane St. to downtown. Specifically, in the area of Bloor West Village (Jane St.

Removing the major arterial bike lanes in Toronto is guaranteed to *increase* gridlock rather than reducing it, since with all traffic sharing the same lanes, cars will have to slow to navigate bikes.

I’m using Toronto bike lane network everyday, to go to work or for leisure.
I feel particularly concerned about this law project, as I’m using both Yonge Street, Bloor/Danforth Avenue and University Avenue bike lanes everyday.
