The province has no business deciding where a city can and cannot build a bike lane. This is a blatant attack to local democracy.
Bike lanes save lives, are conducive to thriving neighborhoods, and help decrease our collective carbon footprint.
With all of the people I've spoken with, nobody wants bike lanes anywhere. It's a waste of money and resources to build these bike lanes. I've heard the argument that they have them in Europe and other parts of the world.

Please stop wasting taxpayers dollars with ridiculous initiatives like removing bike lanes. This effort will simply worsen congestion, risk the lives of vulnerable road users and exacerbates division in society.

I do believe in bike lanes but many of the new bike lanes, especially on the west side are hardly used. It will be best if the ones on Bloor and other major roads will be moved to side streees.
This proposal is excessively heavy-handed, ungrounded in any apparent objective evidence or data, and an entirely unnecessary exercise in fixing something that, in addition to not being broken, is in fact working well.

Re Bike Lanes on Sheppard Ave. E. At an additional cost bike lanes on this street would be welcomed if no lanes of road were closed. This could be accomplished by widening Sheppard Ave. E.

Let Toronto make their own decisions about bike lanes. The city cannot function if we all have cars it doesn’t work. We need transit and bikes to work like other large cities in Europe.

You are actively setting the entire province back years in cycling safety and progress and money spent on existing bike lanes would be wasted.

Removing bike lanes will not improve traffic. Our city is not built to handle the volume of cars we have and a few extra lanes will not change that. What Will improve traffic is reducing the number of cars on the road by improving infrastructure for alternative methods of transportation (eg.

Bike lanes are essential to protect both cyclists and drivers as well as move people throughout the city. They also support our long term environmental goals. We can't keep pandering to a society with little or no vision for a different future and outcomes. I am a driver, cyclist and a pedestrian.
Keep the bike lanes and make neighbourhood streets navigable, especially during rush hour. I live on an artery and let me tell you it feels super unfair that all the traffic is funnelled right in front of my window 24/7 while the houses 'inside the neighbourhood' are protected.

Stop removing bike lanes in Toronto and beef up public transit.
It’s horrible to drive in the city but that’s the fault of an increase of cars post-pandemic. So reduce the number of cars.

If the subways were completed and running, gridlock would be reduced. Removing bike lanes will not reduce gridlock. This is a complete waste of taxpayer money, as well as over reach by the province.
Removing and preventing the construction of bike lanes would significantly decrease safety for cyclists, especially impacting those who have no other option to get around, like people who cannot afford a car, or food delivery cyclists who need to ride a bicycle for work to deliver food quickly withi

Bike lanes in the City of Toronto keep cyclists safe. Taking them away will put more lives at risk. Torontonians need multiple transportation options to move through the city, including cycling infrastructure.

This is a ridiculous decision that is a waste of tax payer dollars, goes against environmental goals, will barely impact traffic, and is severely harming my opinion of Doug Ford's government.
Please do not pass this bill.
Every vehicle on the road contributes to local air pollution. In Canada, vehicle pollution contributes to heart disease, stroke and lung cancer.

This is an abysmal proposal. Removing bike lanes that are already there will cost the tax payers an enormous amount of money, money that could be used to increase transit infrastructure for low income individuals that do not use cars.

This is the one and only thing I have ever agreed with Doug Ford about: get rid of the bike lanes on Bloor Street. One lane traffic on Bloor Street and the Danforth has been and continues to be a traffic nightmare!
