The solution to traffic congestion/gridlock in Toronto should not be to simply build more roads/highways. I believe that there are solutions used in other major cities that could help alleviate this congestion.

This legislation is an overreach of provincial authority and is part of a long pattern of this government stripping away local democratic decision making. Bike lanes are necessary infrastructure that should be left to individual municipalities to plan and build.

This bill will not release congestion and will get people killed. The blood will be on the hands of the premier and the minister of transportation.
People's lives and safety should not be put at risk because Doug Ford chooses to drive to queen's park instead of taking public transit.
I do not support this bill. It is not evidence based and will make the roads unsafe for cyclists. We need more transportation options. This bill perpetuates inequality.

Strongly opposed to the province getting involved in municipal issues. The province should not be removing bike lanes, or be deciding where they are permitted. Active transit, and public transit should be expanded, not reduced. I did not vote for this.

This bill is a joke. Ontarians do not want this highway. Stop distracting people by creating a debate about bike lanes. There is no evidence to support the removal of bike lanes to prevent grid lock.

I as a long time resident of downtown Toronto, who both drives and cycles believes the decision to rip out bike lanes already constructed and priced much needed safety to many residents, is short sighted and pointing the finger of blame in the wrong direction.

I do not support this proposal. Bike lanes reduce gridlock in urban centres by reducing the number of vehicles. Bike lanes are necessary in urban centres to promote safe usage by various vehicle types.
All for it. Here in ottawa out councillor Shawn Menard is destroying any roadway he can under the guise of sewer rehabilitation. He says he’s fixing the sanitary pipes and then the road is half its width. There’s nowhere for snow banks, parking, gridlock is terrible as a result.

I'm a young medical professional living in Toronto, and I commute by biking to work all year round. My parents live in the GTA and I have a car parked at their place. If you accept this bill, then I will not feel safe cycling anymore and will move my car downtown. Is that helping gridlock?

Why is the government hiding legislative changes to remove environmental assessments in a bike lane bill? Why is this government more focused on wasting tax dollars on the biggest government in Ontario history, while simultaneously underfunding education and healthcare?

I am a car driver and bike rider in downtown Toronto. I am very concerned by and in strong disagreement with this proposal to remove pre-existing bike lanes from Toronto.

I appreciate Mr. Ford's concerns about traffic gridlocks and his attempts to solve them.
As a car driver and cyclist, I believe I have an objective assessment of Toronto's driving challenges and bike lanes' benefits.
