We’ve just spent tens of millions of dollars and about a year changing our street (College Street in Toronto) to include a larger bike lane and it would be inconvenient and a terrible waste to undo that.

Removing the bike lanes not only creates less freedom of choice of transit for the people of Toronto, but it also takes money out of taxpayers pockets. The bike lanes were constructed with these funds and the removal would make the time, money, and energy used to build the lanes redundant.

Do not remove the bike lanes downtown, I am in opposition of this bill. Bike lanes are a safe option for getting around downtown quickly, they reduce traffic by taking people out of cars, and they provide alternate means of transportation for people living in the city.
I am writing as a citizen and tax payer of Ontario, residing in Toronto. I am a professional working at multinational company and have mobility, yet choose to live in and pay taxes in this province.

I have only recently started riding my bike in Toronto again as I did when I was younger. I could leave my car at home because I felt safe on those bike lanes.

Creating more red tape for improving cycling infrastructure while making cycling in Toronto less safe makes no sense. Cycling can move more people safely, is better for the environment, and costs less. Toronto is only going to become more population dense and adding another car lane solves nothing.
Car traffic is in fact alleviated because of bike lanes. More bike lanes lessens the need for cars on the road and is healthier for our citizens and allows more freedoms of movement because now we have more methods of travel.

Bike lanes are an essential component of traffic reduction and road safety. Removing bike lanes will, in the short term, create congestion as a result of construction, and will in the long term, exacerbate traffic as cyclists are converted into drivers.

Please keep all current bike lanes. I bike to work every week and reduce congestion on TTC. I use Bloor bike lanes and would be devastated if they were removed. Leave these bike lanes alone.
I do not support the removal of any bike lanes. I use these daily on my commute and frequently to run errands or attend meetings with clients. They are important for me to be able to arrive on time and safely.

Do not support removal of bike lanes. Bike lanes are there for safety. As a biker and a driver, I understand where everyone is and it helps keep everyone aware.
More importantly, having more car lanes does not reduce congestion. It means more cars on the road. Roads get more congested.

Let me state that I am very opposed to this proposal. Municipal roadways are under municipal control,
and requiring Provincial oversight on what is a municipal responsibility sets a very dangerous precedent.

I strongly oppose this bill as its premise is flawed. Bike lanes form the basis of efficient, reliable, equitable, and ecological transportation in Toronto. They are critical not just for cyclists, but for wheelchair and assisted mobility vehicle users with diverse needs.

The province should not be in charge of such local issues as bike lanes. the people whom use the lanes belong to and are governed closely by the cities making them a much more prudent judge.

This bill is a sham and has no place in municipal affairs. The introduction and expansion of the bike lanes have done so much good for the residents of downtown. It has greatly reduced the reliance on motor vehicles.

This is such a waste of my tax dollars to take out bike lanes that have already been built. I've been a bike commuter in Toronto for over ten years and it is factually much safer with all the bike lanes being built. Being able to bike safely across the city is what makes Toronto such a great city.
