The intention for implementing bike lanes was good, but not on main streets that impact major traffic arteries. These bike lanes have caused so much unnecessary congestion at the expense of tax payers, local residents and small businesses. This change needs to happen.
For trips downtown, I leave my car at home and ride my bike. The network of bike lanes makes it feel safe to ride downtown. I remember how much scarier it was to bike before the bike lanes were put in.

This Bill will increase traffic and put my life in danger. A strongly oppose spending money on this. Wherever there are cars, there is traffic. Wherever there are more cars, there is more traffic.
I am simply amazed that Doug Ford keeps wasting money and going against conserving the environment. He is obviously only thinking of the weath he can enjoy now and not the air quality future generations will have, including his grandchildren.

It would be funny how bad this bill is if it wasn't cost to wast so much money and lead to the deaths of so many people. Like passing a bill to reduce traffic by doing the one thing we conclusively know leads to more traffic and delays. Brilliant.
Bike lanes are absolutely vital infrastructure from a health, environment, and equality perspective.
My family and I use the Bloor bike lanes almost daily. They provide a safe way for my husband and I to transport our toddlers short to medium distances.

As a cyclist who also drives and walks in this city, and has occasion to see plenty of bike traffic in the bike lanes on Bloor, I want to denounce the arbitrary decision of this government to tear up valued bike lanes which have made it safer for me to cross the city.

Hi there - I do not support the removal of bike lanes in toronto, and I live, drive and bike downtown. Removing the bike lanes will have a large cost, will cause disruption due to construction and will not magically solve gridlock in the city.

I've been living in Toronto for the last 10 years. In that time, specifically after moving to the Danforth area, I have been filled with a sense of pride. This pride had come from the cities gradual adoption of quality urban development infrastructure.

I moved to Toronto 8 years ago from Barcelona, Spain. Initially, I was shocked and appalled at the lack of protected cycling infrastructure in Toronto. I had become so used to protected cycling infrastructure, that I never thought twice about using Barcelona's public bike share (Bicing).

This bill is absolutely ridiculous. As someone who bikes to work in Toronto virtually every day, I value bike lanes because they ensure my commute is safe. Biking is the fastest way to get across the city -- faster than driving or transit.

I do not approve of the Premier of Ontario wasting taxpayer money to force the removal of bike lanes in the city of Toronto. I have cyclists friends in Toronto and I care about their safety on the road. Do not approve this bill and leave Toronto bike lanes alone!
I urge the govt. of Ontario to create MORE bike lanes and have parking spots at subway stations available for FREE to encourage bike use in the city area.
I’m a lifelong Toronto/GTA resident, and a disgruntled driver.
The issue is not the bike lanes, it’s too many people in cars. The reason I don’t currently bike everywhere is because I simply don’t trust other drivers with my safety in an unprotected bike lane.

Can anyone in government explain how removing bike infrastructure actually helps improve the flow of traffic?
We should add more bike lanes and safe infrastructure, connecting all major streets instead of having interruptions.

As a hobby cyclist in Burlington, ON, I would absolutely love to cycle to more places in my city if there were safer lanes. People want to cycle and absolutely need more non-car transportation options.

Cyclists are pedestrians are on the road and have been protected with implemented bike lane infrastructure (especially hard infrastructure), similarly to how pedestrians are protected on sidewalks (i.e., hard infrastructure) from driving cars.

Bike lanes need to be expanded, not removed. Bike lanes don't cause congestion, vehicles do. Having a robust network of bicycle lanes enables people to move around the city without having to drive, therefore reducing congestion.
