Hi there, Please, please reconsider removing bike lanes on Bloor St W. Bloor is by far one of the safest bike commutes in all of Toronto because of the bike lanes! Read more

I’m in total agreement with removing bike lanes. Too many main roads have been taken over by Bike lanes and some rarely get used. We have more cars on the road than ever but the city chooses to remove vehicle lanes which only cause more congestion.

Because of well planned and safe bike lanes, I was able to get rid of my car. I now get myself and my kids around faster and I’m once less car on the road making less traffic for people that need to drive.

I would like to provide my thoughts on the proposal to strip away the bike lanes on Bay Street and other Toronto arterial roads and the proposed law to give the province the mandate to remove bike lanes in other municipalities and to require approval for new lanes that take away a lane for car traff Read more

I firmly believe that the provincial government is overreacting in its jurisdiction. The statistics that the transportation minister of Ontario stated are quite outdated and do not reflect the current state of biking in Toronto. Read more

Biking is important! Please do not remove bike lanes. The removal of bike lanes makes biking much more dangerous, and it puts bikes and cars in the same lanes which can slow traffic even further. Read more

Please do not remove any bike lanes. Bike lanes open up the neighbourhood as a community, instead of having everyone stuffed in cars. Having a woonerf that is friendly for pedestrians and bikers is the best. West Island of Montreal has Woonerfs and are much friendlier places as a result.

I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed bill to remove bike lanes. This bill seems to add unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy, hindering local governments that are striving to enhance transportation options for their communities. Read more

I believe this proposal is extremely misguided and not good. Bike lanes are not the reason for all the traffic, if anything, it helps by getting cars off the road. Read more

I am dismayed, saddened and quite angry over the provincial government’s baffling move to rip up existing bike lines in Toronto and seemingly slow any new biking infrastructure to a crawl. All evidence shows CONGESTION IS NOT IMPROVED WITH REMOVING BIKE LANES. Read more

This plan is not ok. First and foe, it is overstepping the province's authority into a municipal issue. Second, bike lanes are necessary for the safety, health and wellbeing of Toronto's citizens. Read more

Advocating policy, whose goal is to get car drivers to where they’re going faster is insanity. We are a large city, we need public transportation, we need to reduce car use, we need to encourage alternative transportation. Read more

I support the highway construction, but I am a little concerned about discarding the environment and municipal concerns to do so: the government should take care ensure that there is a process for people/entities to get their valid concerns addressed so that they (or the environment) are not unfairl Read more
