I have lived in Summerhill since 2016. We chose to buy in this area because of its proximity to other areas of the city around which our lives revolved (work, family, etc). However, since the bike lanes were installed on Yonge, that convenience factor has reversed. Read more

I strongly disagree with the proposal to remove any bike lanes in the City of Toronto. Studies have shown that bike lanes and other infrastructure that supports active transportation greatly reduces traffic due to less people deciding to drive cars. Read more

It is important to recognize that when these streets had 2 lanes in both directions, that one of the lanes was dedicated to parking, and as such if the bike lanes are to be removed to "return them to a lane of traffic for motor vehicles", it is important to ensure that these lanes are NOT used for p Read more

The idea that at least $75M of taxpayer money would be spent on installing then removing bike lanes is an egregious misappropriation of public funds. That's not even addressing other costs associated with installing new bike lanes on "secondary" streets. Read more

Removing bike lanes is really going to hurt our city. Nevermind how expensive it is, our infrastructure needs bikes. As a cyclist myself, I depend on bike lanes to get around the city. Climate change isn’t a joke and we need to be taking seriously the impact that cars have on the environment. Read more

I use my bike every day cause I can't afford to take the TTC, and youll be putting my life at risk for the sake of temporary traffic improvements. Even now, I sometimes find myself at risk from careless drivers or lack of infrastructure, and you plan to make it worse. Read more

This government lets our healthcare deteriorate so it can privatize it, seniors died and are dying under your watch, our education system is near collapse, you took rent control away and now blame the feds for homeless people. You’re a disgrace. Read more

The bike lane addition or removal should be the responsibility of the City NOT the Province. I don't see why this falls under or is related to Environment. Bike lanes are a Safety issue. Read more

This is a significant step back in terms of city infrastructure and will only serve to reduce bike usage in the city, causing traffic to worsen in the long term as the city grows. Read more

Please! The bike lanes are what allows the traffic to move safely throughout downtown neighbourhoods. Please leave them in. My family feels safer while driving in our cars when there are designated lanes for bicycles. Please do not remove the bike lanes.

The cost of living in Toronto is significantly high with poorly funded public transportation. If the government cares about traffic congestion, why not focus on speeding up the long overdue Metrolinx projects? Biking is significantly more affordable than cars, healthy, and faster. Read more

Removing existing bike lanes is obscene for at least three good reasons. 1 ) The wasteful cost of removing such a significant infrastructure, some of it still relatively new. Such a complete waste of taxpayer dollars. 2) Those in the lowest income brackets rely on bicycles out of necessity. Read more

This push to remove alternative transportation options from municipalities by the provincial government screams government overreach and is an absolute waste of tax payer money and is pushing the province to be a more dangerous place. Read more

I whole heartedly disagree with the removal of the bike lanes. As an avid biker with a family of 3 we are frequent users of the lanes and value its greener and safer alternative for our present and future.
