I'm a grad student at U of T and I bike every single day (weather permitting). My commute includes Bloor and University. Bike lanes are essential for me. I know many others that bike and not just students, other employees at SickKids where I work.

It is odd that a government ostensibly committed to reducing bureaucratic overhead is instead adding more in what should be a municipalities' jurisdiction. As someone who uses all forms of transit available, I will take the most expedient and convenient option whenever possible.

This proposal is not based on any studies conducted.
Bike lines are necessary to reduce gridlock and congestion as they take away potenial drivers into much smaller bike lines.

This legislation goes against the goal reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which drive climate change, by providing taxpayers with safe alternative green methods of transportation for commuting.

A large but often forgotten demographic in the conversation regarding bike lanes. Is young Professional starting their careers and new Canadians starting their new lives. Costs of living have never been higher. Rent, Groceries, Gas, it's all gone up exponentially in the last 10 years.

The proposal to remove bike lanes in the core is absolute nonsense. Traffic congestion is NOT caused by cyclists. With the world progressing to be more eco-friendly, this is the most backwards proposal I've ever heard of.

Please, please, please don't get rid of bike lanes in Toronto. They are saving lives, bringing consumers to shops downtown, reducing carbon emissions, making public transit less crowded at the busiest times of day, and generally making this city more healthy, liveable, and joyful.

As a resident of Ontario, born in Ottawa and raised in Whitby, and currently living in the downtown core of Toronto for 3 years, I am very aware of Toronto’s traffic congestion and would very much like to be able to get where I am going as efficiently and safely as possible.

This proposal is really dumb and seems like a waste of time and resources. Please spend money on fixing our healthcare system and improve public transit instead of adding extra bureaucracy. Municipalities are all different and should be able to decide for themselves where to put bike lanes.

Please do not do this!!! Our city needs to become more bike and pedestrian friendly. Removing bike lanes WILL NOT decrease traffic congestion, or save anyone time- if anything it’ll make it worse as there will now be even more construction on already busy roads.

Bike lanes are good idea because As a driver, I do not have to worry about them in an active Car Lane. It’s it’s good to have multiple modes of travel in the city.
The most important thing when deciding which measures to adopt to reduce gridlock is - will it work? - and not - is it the most popular? - and not - does the general public think it will work?

Bike lanes are a requirement for me to let my kids bike around town. After removing infrastructure that originally led me to make investments into bikes, is my investment going to get reimbursed after the bikes become unusable due to safety concerns?

I believe the decision to remove recently added bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge street, and adding legislation which prohibits municipalities from making their own decisions on transportation is flawed, expensive, and adds unnecessary bureaucracy to commuter based infrastructure.

We need MORE bike infrastructure not less. It's not political. It's about safety. More bike lanes means less accidents and fatalities. Even if you argue from a driver's perspective, no driver wants to share a lane with bikes!

Removing AND not supporting biking infrastructure build-out, as proposed in this bill, is tantamount to removing my (and others) ability to dictate how I move through a city (safely). The provincial government needs to get their head out of municipal infrastructure build-out.

This bill is absurd on multiple levels and I am shocked that we are not only regressing to outdated and ineffective concepts of transit, but also spending money to undo any progress that is made.

I am both a car commuter and a bicycle commuter (one long term care home in Mississauga, one in Etobicoke). The bike lanes have NOT had an impact on my car driving. However they have been VERY GOOD for my bicycle commute, making it safe for me to ride. I need these bike lanes.

Decisions regarding bike lanes should be handled by municipalities, not the province. Adding unnecessary red tape to a municipal process will slow down building local transportation infrastructure and increase the cost of government from the added bureaucracy.
