Safe and comfortable cycling infrastructure is vital for increasing cycling across Canada. Protecting the health and safety of our communities, while also reducing congestion and air pollution, requires that we do as much as we can to encourage cycling. Read more

This is extremely disturbing. Numerous studies show that bike lanes reduce gridlock, and are a much safer option for cyclists. People will die without bike lanes. This is just a way for Doug Ford to once again meddle in Toronto city politics. Read more

I agree wholeheartedly to get rid of the bike lanes on major local arteries, especially, Bloor Streets. It was supposed to be temporary only. And we all hate it. Traffic just horrifically slow and a few parking space design is awful too. Please get rid of the bike lane ASAP. Thank you.

This proposal is awful and against any studies about what causes traffic. Cars cause traffic. Not bikes. The only solution to reducing traffic is giving alternative solutions for transportation. Read more

Prioritizing cars on the road will not make roads safer or less busy. Time and time again, it has been shown that this type of approach only encourages more car traffic and makes our roads more congested and less safe.

DO NOT REMOVE BIKE LANES. Not only has this not been proven to improve traffic congestion, it also means an expensive endeavour to change an expensive undertaking made for the betterment of Toronto transit and safety of bike lines. Read more

Be careful of these so called “studies.” It’s extremely easy to bias them and many conflicting conclusions can be drawn from them depending on the way it’s interpreted and looked at. Read more

We need more bike lanes not less. If you support other option for transportation other then cars more people with use them and you'll have less cars on the road to cause gridlock

I strongly oppose against passing this bill. Bike lanes do not cause gridlocks; removing them will not save anyone's time. Would you rather have a cyclist go back in a car to contribute to even more traffic because it's too dangerous to cycle after the Ontario government removes the lanes? Read more

I have been a cyclist in Toronto for almost twenty years. I became a cyclist because I couldn't afford any other option: back then, a used bike might cost me $200, which was less than 2 months of a metropass, and it would give me many more months of commuting. Read more

It is better for drivers to not have to watch out for cyclists - seperation is better for everyone. I prefer smaller government, not more government. This is more (costly) government. I prefer for my tax dollars to not be wasted on removing infrastructure that was already paid for. Read more

The province need not micromanage bike lanes, or engage in culture wars, when tens of thousands of Ontarians barely have health care and cannot afford their basic needs such as housing or groceries. Read more

The bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge St have been a huge step forward for our city. Car ownership is not affordable for many and our transit is severely lacking. The environment is a pressing issue for many residents of Toronto. Read more
