This proposal is deeply upsetting to me and I feel I must speak up as it affects me personally because I am a cyclist. I've only been cycling since the start of the COVID pandemic and have fallen in love with this method of transportation since I have found it to be liberating and empowering. Read more

I drive every day, and honestly, I don't want to share the road with cyclists. I find it frustrating when they're in my way, slowing me down and making my drive more stressful. There were times I wished I could just get them off my road entirely. Read more

Ford and conservatives are lying about the detrimental effects of bike lanes. In an October town hall, Deputy Fire Chief Jim Jessop responded by explaining that according to the data, emergency response times have actually improved since the Bloor bike lanes were installed. Read more

I am vehemently opposed to the portion of the Bill that allows the government to expropriate land outside of the usual protections under the Expropriation Act. Removing bike lanes will not reduce gridlock, and the government has not provided any evidence as such.

As a small business owner, parent, pedestrian and frequent driver, I’m writing to urge the government to reconsider this costly and dangerous proposal to tear up existing Toronto cycling infrastructure (and especially bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge & University). Read more

Bike lanes are an integral part of making streets safer. I bike regularly as my main form of transportation with my children in tow and am grateful for every bike lane. Read more
