Did you know there was a report issued on October 14, 2018 by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - the IPCC - stressed that global CO2 emissions need to be net zero by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees and avoid catastrophic impacts.

I am a pedestrian, driver, cyclist and public transit user. Bike lanes make streets safer for everyone and we need more bike lanes, a fully connected network of bike lanes. People need transportation options and that must include bike lanes.

Live along one of the proposed streets that will have a bike lane removed. We will be doing everything in our power to stop you. This is against the charter in that you are creating laws that put pedestrians in harm's way. All so dougy can drive his truck to Queen's Park.

Removing alternatives to driving will increase congestion in the city. I could drive and be one more truck on the road but I bike everyday. Rain shine hot or cold. More people biking walking and taking transit mean less cars and less congestion. I voted for this conservative government.

Cars are the least efficient way to move people through cities. Nearly all major cities in North America and Europe are actively discouraging car use in their cities and increasing the use of bicycles and transit.

This ill-informed bill will increase congestion, decrease safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists, and add costs and red tape to decisions that should be wholly managed by municipalities.

As someone who drives daily, I enjoy that bike lanes provide more people an option to not drive and get out of my way. Removing them will cause more traffic. To see this government continually use this as a culture war wedge is ridiculous and ill founded and I voted for Ford twice.

BIKE LANES REDUCE CONGESTION. Possibly the pettiest, stupidest idea to come out of this petty, stupid government—creating even more red tape for Ontarians and municipalities. It’s clear that this is motivated by spite—and the interests of the Car Lobby—more than common sense. Do better
This proposal complicates the development of bike lanes, which can be a cost-effective solution to reduce traffic congestion and support environmental goals.

As someone who uses cycling as a main mode of transportation around Toronto, I would hope that the Province will realize that bike lanes reduce commute times for a lot of people. Quite simply, when you look at a map to your destination it’s almost always the shortest option.

Ontario should be using its budget on hiring more teachers and medical professionals, and not on bike lake removal or expediting beer at corner stores. I make over 300,000 dollars per year, and measures like this decrease the chance that me and my taxes stay in the province in the long run.
As someone who cycles to work in downtown Toronto year-round I have experienced first hand the increased level of safety, comfort, and ease that has come with the installation of bike lanes across the city over the past five years.

Bike lanes are an important part of overall city infrastructure and the lanes on Bloor and other streets in Toronto should remain and be expanded. This is a municipal issue and the province should stay out of it.
There are better ways to reduce gridlock that will be more environmentally friendly, protect people and be cost-efficient. Strike a deal with Hwy 407 to remove tolls or redirect trucks and other vehicles. Build better and more accessible public transit infrastructure.

There’s plenty of studies and academic research that shows bike lanes help reduce traffic, not cause it. Why is the conservative government throwing away money towards something that will make traffic worse, and cause more injury and deaths?

Studies have widely shown that providing safe infrastructure for cyclists as well as other modes of mobility have improved traffic flow for cars, as bicycles are no longer navigating vehicle lanes. It's safer for everyone!
