Is this Ford's climate plan??? Just build more and more highways and roads and make it impossible for alternative green transportation to be established?

As a rural voter I literally can not believe the amount of time wasted on micro managing Toronto and Doug’s commute into queens park when I can’t get a doctor here and Ears are closing.

Removing bike infrastructure is a net negative for the environment. This will force people to stop using their bikes and start driving. Now we have more cars on the road, more pollution, and this will do absolutely nothing to reduce traffic.

This plan has nothing to do with reducing gridlock using evidence-based methods or foresight. It’s important for municipalities to continue to enjoy the freedom to make decisions that will affect their constituents without provincial oversight.

Removing bike lanes will place cyclists back in lanes with cars, increasing congestion and making a more dangerous environment for cars and cyclists. Dedicated cycle tracks allows for smoother traffic. There should be consideration of removing on-street parking for major Toronto streets.

Bikes reduce road congestion. Every person using a bike or transportation is one less car. This proposal to restrict bike lane construction will not reduce road congestion and will make your government look even more foolish.
There is lots of evidence that adding car lanes does NOT help in aiding congestion. Repurposing bike lanes into car lanes therefore is completely counterintuitive and will likely worsen congestion, transportation costs, and heighten emissions.

Perhaps you could submit bill 212 to your own minister for cutting red tape to get it cancelled.
Regardless of the fact that bike lanes are generally good for cities, business, congestion, and sustainability, this is clearly a municipal issue that should be decided by local people.

Strongly opposed to this. As someone who actually lives in and travels around Toronto, rather than just driving in on weekends, the issue is not bike lanes or cyclists, but rather that there are TOO MANY CARS.

"Just one more lane, bro". More car lanes means more car traffic. We need more bike and walking lanes for the health of our environment, ourselves, and the future life on this planet. Go public transit! End gridlock! Cars should not be the primary form of transportation for everybody.
If the government had consulted with any transportation engineer before drafting up this bill, they would have learned that adding bike lanes REDUCES traffic in the long term.

I am an avid biker myself, but downtown Toronto is already suffering with terrible traffic, and not enough parking for drivers. Bike lanes are great but should be seasonal (very few people use them in the winter), and should be strategically installed on certain streets.

We are writing to express my strong opposition to the Ontario government’s recent bill that would allow the province to ban and remove bike lanes.

I use bike lanes every day to get to and from work here in Toronto. They make me feel much safer and protect us from cars. It is not acceptable to reduce bike lane infrastructure in a city that is impossible to navigate with cars at times.
