There are places for bike lanes, Bloor and Yonge Street aren't have public transportation already.
Bike lanes should be relegated to secondary roads.
The addition of bike lanes has made the city unlivable.

as an Ontarian I strongly believe that bike lanes are an important portion of alternative transport and moving away from carbon emitting vehicles e.g. your standard ice engine. Along with reducing congestion due to traffic flow allowing more people to travel in the same space.

I am in opposition of this proposal for many reasons. It has become apparent that the use of cars is highly encouraged within Ontario cities, leaving many folks who do not drive or cannot drive, at a disadvantage.

I oppose this measure. Making the streets friendly to bicycles is essential for promoting alternate methods of travel around Toronto. This will ultimately reduce traffic for the trips that need to be taken by car. Streets are more pleasant for everyone when there are more bicycles.

Hello, I'm a driver who lives in Toronto. I use both Bloor and University frequently, as my office is on University. I do not support this bill, both in its removal of existing bike lanes and the addition of more bureaucracy to create new ones.

While I love the idea of bike lanes and was excited when the bike lanes on Bloor street were being extended, it seems that the other road users do not adhere to protocol making me much less inclined to use them.

I do not support this bill.
- Not having bike lanes decreases safety and accessibility
- Not having bikes lanes doesn't get cars of the road
- Car are causing gridlock, not bikes
- Money has already been invested to creat bike lanes, it is a huge waste to walk that back

This is wrong in so many ways. Our money was used to install these lanes now they’re being used to remove them. This choice increases side walk congestion, making it unsafe for pedestrians and cyclists.

I understand that removing bike lanes doesn't need to make sense logically when the proposal only exists to make someone's life worse, so I won't go into the simple fact that every person on a bike is one less car on the road or how separating bikes and cars is safer for both.

It was my understanding that bike lanes can increase bike use which could lead to a reduction in congestion. Supporting this are several international (e.g. Paris, New York) as well as domestic examples of bike lanes growing in popularity and reducing travel times on roads.

I don’t believe this bill fits the mandate of the province. Please empower municipal governments to make these decisions, especially since it concerns municipally owned roads.
Location of bike lanes is not a provincial responsibility. Doug Ford is not the mayor of Toronto. Stay in your lane.

I am fundamentally opposed to this legislation. The inclusion of retroactive approvals is a huge overreach, as is the removal of specific bike lanes in Toronto. Ontario has a huge problem with traffic congestion, and we should be prioritizing alternates to individual vehicles at all times.

Hello,
This bill is very short sighted and poorly researched as all it will accomplish the exact opposite of what it claims to: it will make traffic congestion worse.

As a Canadian and home owner in Toronto, I have serious concerns about Exempting Building 413 from the Environmental Assessment Act and the removal and strict limiting and regulation of bike lanes.

Hi,
I think that bike lanes are an important part to ensure the city is equitable for all. All modes of transport deserve to be safe from getting from point A to point B and the bike lanes are an important safety measure not just for cyclists but also vehicles.

I am deeply opposed to the provincial government’s proposal to remove sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes to return them to motor vehicle lanes.
