The majority of the population does not make cross-province trips on a daily basis. Base the road infrastructure on the vast majority of trips that the vast majority of us actually take on a daily basis.
The argument should be that a non-driver has just as much right as a car driver to get to the places they want to go safely. Especially since the non-driver is far more likely to live in the area, so the infrastructure should favour them, and not the driver who's just driving through.

I use the bike lanes to commute to work near queens Park and had been impressed with the infrastructure developments in recent years. Removing the bike lanes is not only a waste of the resources put into installing them but puts cyclists in danger and will only increase accidents.
The ridership of bike lanes is unimportant. Just as we don't build sidewalks because we need a certain "threshold" of pedestrians to walk on them. Streets like Bloor W were redesigned with safety as a priority.

Bike lanes - it's not about ridership - it's about them reducing cars speeding. When lanes are narrowed, cars have a much harder time speeding/racing/weaving/passing dangerously.

Why are we making it easier to drive and use automobiles. Most cities in Europe are bicycle friendly if not outright pro bicycle. It is better for health, better for the environment and far more sustainable. Why are we continuing to cater to cars?

Hi I am 8 years old and I love riding my bike. I use the bike lanes almost every day to bike with my mom and I think they are awesome. I would be so sad if they got took away. So please Mr. Ford don't take the bike lanes away thank you!
Hello, as an employee of ICLEI Canada who works closely with municipalities every single work day and has supported the creation of many climate action plans where sustainable, active transportation is a key component, I can confidently say that municipalities seek to shift transportation mode share

I do not support the removal of bike lanes. I think that bike lanes make the roads safer for both drivers and cyclists, and encourage citizens to use more eco friendly modes of transportation.
Cycling is no doubt the fastest way to commute around the city-half the time of taking transit and 25-40% faster than driving. It’s part of a healthy lifestyle and reduces emissions. It should be considered an important part of a city and should be protected and encouraged.

If nothing else, this is a gross misuse of taxpayer money, which should concern all Ontarians. Why should people from all around the province pay for a construction project in Toronto. The people of Toronto voted for a council who is pro-bike lane. Let them deal with it at the local level.

This is absolutely government over reach. Premier Ford and his government have gone too far. I was very supportive of this government's focus on removing red tape and getting things done faster up until this issue and the blatant misuse of power.
