Proposal made by people who cant think straight. We all know bike lanes were never the problem, more people cycling implies there are less cars on the road.

I use bike lanes. I live in downtown Toronto. I do not own a car. The removal of these critical, widely used bike lanes would be a net negative, reducing the quality of life for myself and thousands of others in Toronto.

This bill is draconian and an incredible overreach of provincial power. This bill would do nothing to solve grid lock and instead promote worse traffic across the entire province.

This is a matter that is best left to local government to address. The proposed legislation is a constitutional overreach that is, on its face, paternalistic.

As as a driver myself, I understand the frustration of the traffic delays on our roads today.
I do not agree that removing or restricting bike lanes is answer to the problem.

A few weeks ago, I travelled to Toronto from my home 2 hours north, visiting Queen's Park to speak to MPPs about our healthcare system. I parked my car at a friend's house in Parkdale and used Toronto Bike Share to ride downtown to my hotel.

Lousy, cynical politics with no regard for good transportation planning. More car lanes on Bloor-Danforth and University will only induce more car traffic. And this on a corridor where high capacity subway trains are running below.

Take away bike lanes and then the cyclists will simply take up more space on the existing roads (as they should for their safety). Cyclists may also opt to drive instead of cycle for their own safety which would INCREASE gridlock. Want to fix the traffic problem?

We should try to be more like amsterdam where they embraced cycling culture, there are plenty of other cities in Europe which has better infra for bikes than Toronto.
Cycling is good for environment and people. plus a bike collision with someone is far more forgiving than a car collision.

I am a driver, a cyclist, and patron of public transit.
The removal of bike lanes will not succeed in reducing gridlock in Toronto, it will only serve to incentivize further car travel in a city, increase greenhouse gas emission and pollution, and ultimately worsen traffic over time.

As a driver and a cyclist that lives and works in the city, we need more infrastructure including bike lanes to transport people. Encouraging more cyclists and less cars will leave to less traffic.

This bill goes against all modern advancements the city of Toronto has made. The use of bike lanes has been proven to reduce emissions, reduce car congestion, increase people's health through an active life style, make for safer streets through less deadly collisions, and more.

As a matter of concept and principle, there is a reason why decisions about the day-to-day functioning of cities is made at a municipal level and not by the province - local government is closer to the day-to-day realities of its residents and best able to respond to them.

I use the bike lanes in question frequently and it is useful for me to know that for the duration I find myself in a protected lane, I can expend less energy anticipating grievous bodily harm. I cannot think of any action more casually harmful than ripping out established bike lanes.

Discouraging the construction of bike lanes is a backwards approach to solving gridlock that puts people's lives at risk. Studies have shown that the only solution to car traffic is giving people other viable transportation options, and this proposal will be going in the opposite direction.

As a driver, I am always little worried when driving close to a cyclist and have a hard time deciding to pass them as it might cause harm. so i ended up driving much slower when sharing a lane with the cyclists. Having a bike lane benefit everyone’s health and safety
Please don’t remove the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University. As a UofT graduate student who is frequently on campus, as well as at St. Michael’s hospital where my lab is, I use the bike lanes on at least one of these roads each day.

I oppose this proposal. Leave city commuting decisions to municipal authorities. The province should focus on what's within its mandate and do its part in achieving climate change goals.
