The bike lanes on University Ave have been delaying Ambulances and cars since they were put in with the parking. I live downtown and I have been run into and have dodged many bike riders who are the sidewalk where there are bike lanes. Read more

It's extremely depressing that in the face of increased pressures from climate change that the government of Ontario has decided to make it more difficult to find viable alternatives to car traffic. Read more

Not only is ripping existing bike lanes out of streets like University a big waste of tax payers dollars, but it won't even fix traffic issues. So what we spend millions putting the bike lanes in, then millions ripping them out only to fit a couple more cars on the road. Read more

As a regular out of town user of the well-used Bloor Street and University Avenue bike lanes I am astonished that the government would waste taxpayer money to remove the considerable infrastructure on these routes, and also to endanger lives of the many people who use these routes. Read more

As a student commuting to the university every day by bike I can attest to the fact that bike lanes are an essential part of this city's transportation network. They promote health and save time. Everyday I see tens or even hundreds of bikers on the roads, commuting to work, school. Read more

I believe the removal of bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University Streets, noticeably Toronto's busiest streets, is not only a slap in the face to anyone who cares about the environment and thus chooses to commute in an eco-friendly manner but also a slap in the face to the welfare of Toronto's cit Read more

As a Toronto resident and parent, I strongly oppose any legislation that would allow the dismantling of bike lanes in our city. These lanes have transformed the way my children can navigate Toronto, providing a safe and accessible route for them to get around on their bikes. Read more

I am a cyclist and driver in Toronto and I would like to strenuously note that removing bike lanes increases my chances of dying. 10 years ago I was hit by a jeep on Ossington and my bike was destroyed but I survived. My daughter refuses to bike due to a lack of bike lanes on some streets. Read more

Removing those very important bike lanes would be an unimaginably huge step backwards in terms of health, pollution, safety for people who are not motorized and efficiency of the growing bike network. Read more

This is simply an unsubstantiated and reckless way of reducing gridlock. Better public transit, city planning, and enforcement of basic traffic laws reduces gridlock. People riding bikes reduces cars and actually DOES reduce gridlock. Read more

As a person who commutes into downtown Toronto from Mississauga, I don't believe removing bike lanes and building more highways will help congestion. The city is too populated for car routes to ever be the main source of transportation. Read more

This legislation does not appear to be rooted in facts and appears to cross a line on what authority the provincial government has over municipal mandates. More people on bikes are less people in cars causing congestion. City officials have confirmed little to no impact on EMS services. Read more

I have lived in Scarborough my whole life and now own a business here. Ripping out bikelanes is a mistake. All of the congestion I see across the GTA is from cars. We should be encouraging those who don't need to drive, to use other modes of transportation such as transit and cycling. Read more
