I believe this proposal is shortsighted and lacks a solid, evidence-based approach. Traffic congestion has been a persistent issue in the GTA for over a decade, and so far, most solutions have been temporary fixes that don’t address the core needs of residents. Read more

It feels very wrong to rip up existing bike lanes. Biking is a good way to exercise while also getting from one place to another without having to use a car (bikes being the more environmentally friendly way instead of cars which is an extra plus). Read more

This is a horrible idea. Please look at cities in Europe (for example Paris has just got rid of most of the car traffic in the centre) and make Toronto’s downtown car free. Especially the bloor bike lanes were a huge success. Read more

Taking away the rights and responsibilities of our local ELECTED representatives and giving them to unelected bureaucracy is totally against my wishes. I want someone who drives the LOCAL roads to be involved in the long term planning and execution of that plan. Read more

I've been living in Toronto most of my life, and bike lanes are one of the best things about the roads. More options for transportation, and more green vehicles on the road are better than a stopgap solution that will save a paltry amount of time at the most. Read more

The placement of bike lanes should be determined locally. This is not something the provincial government should be involved with. There are much more pressing issues that the provincial government should be spending their time and my tax dollars on! Read more

I am a cyclist in the east end of Toronto who bikes to work, to get groceries, to see friends - to do pretty much everything. I see how efficiently the bike lanes move people because the TTC doubles my commute. On my commute I see kids going to school every weekday by bike. Read more

With the removal of bike lanes and unnecessary red tape on creating new bike lanes lives are put in danger. The people who use these bike lanes will have to drive on the road making them more likely to be killed by a vehicle. Read more

Bike Lanes are a municipal concern and the Government of Ontario should stay out of it. If Doug Ford is interested in getting people moving, he should be focused on getting the Eglinton LRT opened after 14 years of construction - that will actually get people moving. Read more

It is unconscionable to reduce major thoroughfares like Yonge Street and University Avenue to one lane of vehicle traffic. This has caused unprecedented traffic congestion, extreme frustration, and discourages people from coming downtown. Read more

I am a volunteer cyclist with the Toronto Bike Brigade, bringing food and essentials from food banks to vulnerable community members. I crisscross the streets of Toronto six days out of seven every week to provide this essential service. Read more

Hello, This comment is about the bike lanes in the city of Toronto that are on the larger busier roads such as University, Bloor and Yonge. My Husband and I live on Roxborough Street East just by the Rosedale subway station. Read more

As a driver, cyclist and pedestrian, I urge the province to continue to support the installation of bikelanes on major arteries. They provide much needed safe access for cyclists. They do not impede car traffic. They keep cyclists off of residential streets, leaving them safer for pedestrians. Read more
