I see this proposal as a step backwards. Cars, many, if not most of which are single occupant, should not be controlling our policies on gridlock nor transportation. Enabling, even better, encouraging bicycling has so many benefits beyond environmentally friendly transportation. Read more

I am a motorist that often drives on Bloor St. The bike lanes on Bloor help me feel safer as a driver. The provide clarity and safety both for cyclists and drivers. I do not believe that this proposal will reduce gridlock, rather, it will further endanger both drivers and cyclists.

Please keep our bike lanes!! They allow for better flow of traffic and keep cyclists safe. It is a waste of money to remove them, and not to mention the construction required will slow down cars and increase commute times.

I strongly disagree with this bill that does nothing to improve traffic flow and will instead put lives in danger. Adding more lanes is not the answer as the government of Ontario is fully aware. 80 years of research has proven this time and time again. Read more

Idiotic. Huge waste of money and time, gross overreach of the province into municipal affairs. It would be a better use of resources to burn the money in a big bonfire.

I am a driver in Toronto and I support bike lanes, they make the roads safer for all of us and support the reduction of congestion. The removal of bike lanes will have dire consequences for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians and I do not support this. Read more

Removing or reducing the construction of bike lanes will not help traffic, this is basic urban planning. It endangers cyclists, is anti-environmental, and means that the cyclists have nowhere to be other than the road, which is what actually holds up traffic. Read more

This proposal should be scrapped entirely. Cities around the world are adding bike lanes because they support safe, fast, and emission free transport. The government has provided no coherent evidence to support removal of the existing lanes. Read more

I believe removing bike lanes will be counterproductive to the overall gridlock situation. These lanes are new to Canada and many European cities have experienced great benefit and so are we. As more bikes on the road fewer parking garages, more healthy people getting excellent exercise .

The removal of bike lanes will negatively affect local businesses with less business given a reduction of "slow" foot/cyclist traffic and the removal exterior sitting area. Read more

I have a number of issues with the proposed legislation that would require provincial approval for new bike lanes and, worse, would even potentially remove existing bike lanes: 1) Common sense approach Read more

I use bike lanes every day and consider them essential transportation infrastructure. For people living in cities bicycles are less expensive and easier to maintain than a car. Taking away bike lanes limits options for people who can't drive for various health or economic reasons. Read more

This is a waste of tax payer dollars, is entirely unscientific and does NOT take into account the numerous benefits that have been shown, over and over again, that bikelanes provide to local businesses, increased safety and reduced pollution. Read more

This entire bill is a shameful overreach by the provincial government that benefits no one in Ontario who isn't a wealthy developer or personal associate of the Premier. Read more
