I think this is a silly reverse on all the progress Toronto has made to make it a livable city. Bike lanes are needed to lessen traffic, so people use bikes rather than vehicles. Read more

I have been a cyclist in Toronto since 1986. It is my main mode of transportation. To think that the Ontario PC's want to rip out bike lanes is illogical and dangerous for the health and safety of Torontonians. Read more

As a homeowner in Toronto, using all forms of commuting throughout my day, I believe the removal of bike lanes a sign of disrespect for those citizens choosing to use bikes to commute. Read more

I have been a Toronto resident for the past 21 years. In 2017 I sold my car and decided I was no longer gonna get a new car. Instead, I have been relying on public transportation and during the summer months, I use my bike extensively. Read more

I am against this bill. Nikes lanes make the city safer and greener. Research show that removing bike lanes will not improve city traffic. Encouraging more people to use bikes as their primary mode of transportation WILL decrease city car traffic. And it will go a long way toward saving our planet. Read more

This is a waste of taxpayer money!!! I live in the gta outside of Toronto, and don’t want my money wasted on frivolous things like what Toronto does with their roads, leave that up to their city council to decide. Read more

Hello, I use this bike lane routinely to get to and from work, for recreation and for day-to-day errands. I believe that removing this section of bike lane would be a step in the wrong direction, and make Bloor street less safe for all modes of transit. Read more

Please do not remove bike lines. The logic is clear, people use them and if they didn't use them, they would be in cars, making traffic worse. Bikes are smaller than cars a bike lane enables more throughput of people than a car lane. This logic should go further and lead to more bike lanes. Read more

Toronto has a population of almost 3 million people. Given the space restrictions of an urban environment it does not matter how much roads are expanded there will always be traffic because cars are big and take up a massive amount of space on the road, often for just a single person to travel.

First of all, Premier Ford's motion to remove bike lanes on Toronto's behalf is a direct attach on democracy. Second of all, using 1% usage data which is from the greater Toronto area to try to prove the usage of a highly dense urban center like downtown Toronto is shamelessly data manipulation. Read more

The provincial government's decision to limit the installation of bike lanes by municipalities is not based on facts. I have several points to make as follows: Read more

I am thoroughly against this bill! Bike lanes not only ease congestion, but they are necessary to the safety of cyclists and drivers everywhere. Getting rid of bike lanes will not make cyclists disappear; it will simply force them onto the road. Read more

This is not a productive use of the government of ontario's time. First, it is a gross overstep of Ontario's power over municipal authorities to impose that traffic control alterations be a matter of provincial review and approval. Read more

legislation should support, not supercedes, local government initiatives aimed at reducing gridlock. The Ontario government should work with local municipalities to make the needed changes in the communities to reduce gridlock. Read more
