With the current climate crisis, poor public transit and the working class that rely on affordable methods to transit in this city, the removal of bike lines does nothing more than work against the items I have noted and waste tax payer dollars on work that has been future focused and progressive.

If we take out bike lanes that will mean more people in cars, which will add congestion to the car traffic. It doesn't make any sense. All the delivery people will have to get cars, so even more car congestion.

What a waste of taxpayer money. Why is the provincial government meddling in municipal matters? Why are you going to undo progress in a city and why should the taxpayers of Sudbury or Newcastle or Windsor or Ottawa pay for the removal of bike lanes in Toronto?

It’s regressive urban planning / development.
It’s political meddling.
It’s a distorted view of who a street is for.
It doesn’t even solve the problem it’s claiming to address.
I am strongly against Doug Ford proposition to have the Ontario interfering with the right of the municipalities to manage bike lanes.
We elect councillors to do the job with the help of the city hall.
This is thier juridiction.

It would be a really dumb decision to remove the bike lanes (or move them at all). You would be wasting my tax payer dollars and would be doing nothing to solve the traffic issues Toronto is facing. In fact you would make them worse.

Where is the Ministry of Red Tape Reduction? Why is the province getting involved in a municpal issue? The Ontario Government should keep to it's lane.
This is the worst bill to come out for reducing gridlock I've ever heard of. If 100 bicycles pass you on your daily commute, you'll think it's not that many but you'll definitely notice 70-80 extra cars on the road when these bike lanes are removed.

I am strongly against Bill 211 and its misguided attempts at “reducing gridlock”. I commute by bike to work using bike lanes along the waterfront trail, Simcoe, Richmond/Adelaide everyday, and use the bike lanes on bloor and university to run errands regularly.

The bike lane section of this bill will slow down the province's economy by wasting people time and money, actively harm people's safety and harm the environment. This whole bill should be tossed out.
Removing good biking infastructure will have the complete opposite effect on traffic, it is common sense. Instead of getting rid of bike lanes, improve them and add more to intice people into walking or biking instead, that's what'll improve traffic.
