Many people use the bike lanes to travel and shop at local businesses along Bloor Street. There are also many delivery cyclists that use the bike lanes for food delivery. Read more

Let municipalities manage their own lanes. The bike lanes on Bloor and University make it so much faster, easier, and safer to get around. We need more transit options, not more regulations. As if it there wasn't already enough red tape without this ridiculous proposal.

As an Uber driver that just so happens to live in the city, bike lanes are a necessity. Why should we adhere to the drivers that don’t even live in the city? Why should they(Brampton, Richmond, Hill, Oakville, etc. drivers ) get the say of what happens here in the city. Read more

All levels of government should be doing everything they can do add bike lanes, not remove them. Bike lanes make people safer, improve traffic flow, abet physical health by encouraging cycling, and are good for the environment by reducing our dependence on the automobile.

I live in the City of Hamilton, and I often feel as if I am being punished for needing to use my car. I cannot ride a bike to work (also, no one ever mentions how sweaty one can get riding to work. And then I have to be smelly and sweaty all day? No thank you). Read more

This proposal ignores proven facts, skips science, and strips decades and decades of progress from our community. I call on the government to look at the scientific facts that show that bike lanes reduce congestion.

I want to thank Mr. Ford for his common sense decision to eliminate bike lanes that reduce lanes of car traffic on our busy streets. I would also argue that much less than 1% of people ride a bike to work on warm, dry days. During our long Winter and bad weather, bike lanes sit virtually empty. Read more

This is an atrocious and nonsensical bill. There is no evidence to suggest that removing bike lanes will help with traffic congestion and in fact there is evidence to the contrary. I cannot fathom what the reasoning is behind this proposal. Read more

I am speaking both as a driver and as a cyclist. I am strongly opposed to removing bike lanes from major roads. Studies have shown that they reduce collisions, save lives, and don't significantly impede the flow of traffic. Read more

This bill is a terrible idea and is going to put cyclists in danger. We need MORE cycling infrastructure, not less. Allowing cyclists on the road reduces traffic. Cycling lanes are already thin, removing them will not have a significant impact on congestion. Read more

In response to the Ontario government’s proposal to remove bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue in Toronto and potentially mandate reviews of other existing bike lanes, I’d like to raise a strong opposition, especially given my perspective as a cyclist, driver, and communi Read more
