Please do not take away any bicycle infrastructure! It is important for people of all ages, economic backgrounds and improves quality of life. Studies show that car-dependent cities, such as those of Ontario, are less safe. Read more

I really hope you reconsider this bill. Bicycling isn't just a hobby. Its a means of transportation. Sure, there are personal reasons to bike, such as for health reasons or to save money. But bicycling can also improve communities as a whole. Read more

Removing bike lanes will not improve gridlock as cyclists will just go onto the road. Also, it does seem to be a waste of money to remove newly installed infrastructure. Future lanes outside of major roads makes sense. If you really want to improve traffic, speed up the Gardiner construction.

Monumental waste of tax dollars. Cycling infrastructure saves lives and investments here have contributed to more bike ridership than ever. This becomes a self fulfilling investment by providing a safe alternative that takes cars off the road and reduces burden on the TTC. Read more

Bike lanes are very important to ensure safety of bike commuters. I commute by biking all but 3 months of winter. - I have a car and choose not to use it. If there are no bike lanes, I will start using my car -> this will add another car to congestion downtown Read more

I don't see why the provincial government needs to add more bureaucracy and waste it's time micromanaging perfectly competent municipal governments, I'd much rather my provincial government focus it's time on its own domain. Read more

This is really disheartening to see, as bicycle infrastructure in the city seemed to finally be catch up to with the times. Removing bike lanes from major corridors is not just regressive but will be incredibly dangerous for cyclists. Read more

I find this proposal extremely heavy-handed and short-sighted. The "just one more lane" philosophy has been disastrous for urban centres for decades, and ripping out bike lanes and making more people take more cars on the road will *increase* gridlock, not decrease it. Read more

we absolutely should not be building hwy 413. the ecological impacts far outweigh the benefits, and just because you've ignored or cancelled the need for an ecological impact report doesn't mean it's a good idea. Read more

I fully support the idea of adding significantly more access to bike lanes, as this will further encourage current and prospective bikers to continue to utilize existing routes tailored to them, whilst also reducing the total numbers of singular drivers in the road.

I'm a physician who cares for older adults with dementia and its precursor, mild cognitive impairment. Air quality is a known risk factor for dementia. My patients and their families have few options for reducing their air pollution exposure if they want to leave their homes. Read more

This is a terrible proposition for the future of Toronto. It will not alleviate traffic and it will waste all of tbe taxpayer dollars that have been used to create this infrastructure in tbe first place. I will be protesting this proposition fiercely.

It is inappropriate for provincial government to add unnecessary beauracracy and red tape to municipal governments - solely because the premier wants fewer bike lanes on his morning commute. Read more

Toronto has been crippled by bike lanes on major traffic arteries. The traffic congestion causes increased travel times, lost productivity and increased cost to consumers for goods or services. Read more
