Bike lanes should NOT be removed. This is costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars to remove something that is actively beneficial to the city. We should be actively encouraging people to bike instead of taking cars which will reduce traffic overall. Read more

focus on building transit, not deflecting from other priorities with this nonsense. its a waste of money to rip those lanes out, put more peoples lives at risk, and it wont even improve congestion. the people of Toronto voted for bike lanes, you're not the mayor of the City. Read more

This is an obscene waste of taxpayer dollars. What is the sense in removing infrastructure that has just been built, after significant consultation processes? The money could be better spent on subsidizing the ttc, or speeding up the Eglinton crosstown, or literally anything else. Read more

adding new bike lanes is great, removing existing bike lanes is absurd, especially on such dangerous thoroughfares. removing those bike lanes will increase commuter fatalities for sure. please please don't remove them.

In addition to the comments I already submitted, I wanted to also add that I think all Cafe TO patio's that are approved on roadways should not be allowed, espically when the restauant already has an outdoor patio. Read more

This is absolutely ridiculous. They cost an exorbitant amount money and caused ridiculous traffic to put in, and the government now wants to waste MORE time and money removing them? This makes no sense,"ease gridlock" by creating more gridlock while you get rid of the lanes? Read more

The rhetoric about reducing the gridlock with this plan is unsupportable. Utterly. The only way to reduce gridlock in this city is to have less cars, period. Bike lanes can actually help with that. Read more

As the populations grows in the city of Toronto, we need alternative ways to get around. Cycling has always been a very efficient, cost effective and enjoyable way to get around the city. The bike lanes have enabled more people to bike safely including kids and the elderly. Read more

Bike lanes keep cyclists safer! Please don’t add more risk to the daily commute for me and my husband. A better move would be to remove street parking along busy corridors to reduce impediments to traffic. Thank you!

To the Provincial Government: Reducing traffic congestion is a good idea but taking out cycling lanes is: -very expensive for taxpayers -not an evidence-based solution to traffic congestion -will cost lives because cyclists who are not on protected lanes are more likely to be hurt. Read more

As a life long Torontoian, I do not own a car. I cycle year round, save for when there is snow on the ground (for safety issues) I don't understand why removing bike lanes is being discussed, as we need more cars off the road to relieve congestion. Read more

As a young student coming from a middle-class family, I think the government of Ontario should not move forward with their project of removing the main bike lanes of central Toronto. It is a question of budget and inefficiency of your plan. Read more

The bike lanes in Toronto serve an important purpose in helping to manage traffic. Without them, cyclists are forced to weave between vehicles and squeeze past illegally stopped trucks, causing additional points of conflict and slowing traffic. Read more
