I'm appalled at this proposal. Myself and my family (including two children under age 10) regularly use the bike lanes to traverse the City of Toronto, including those that are immediately targeted for removal (without any sense of if/when alternatives would be provided). Read more

This proposal is utterly ridiculous! Urban bike lanes are not in the jurisdiction of the provincial government, as they are, and should remain, a municipal matter. In addition, this is a huge step backwards in every respect. Read more

This bill’s proposal to remove major bike infrastructure in Toronto is not only a threat to the safety of all non-motorized road users but also undermines core Canadian governance principles, which prioritize local governments being able to decide transport, mobility, and access needs. Read more

Bike lanes make our city safe , are environmentally friendly, and actually reduce car congestion. As some who drives and bikes regularly, I see first hand how critical it is to have divided bike lanes. Bloor, Yonge, and University will not stop bikers from using those streets to commute. Read more

As part of the effort to improve traffic flow and travel times along the Bloor/University and Yonge corridors, will provincial operational funding be restored to the Toronto Transit commission for the purpose of increasing service on the bus, train and streetcar lines?

A poor thought out proposal that will only increase traffic. Before the lanes went in the curb lanes were all full of parked cars anyway. This will cause several more accidents with people riding bikes and push even more bikes and scooters into sidewalks which create more accidents. Read more

I am a 70 year old cyclist who cannot drive, and so I cycle across the city everyday. Please keep the existing bike lane on Bloor between Jane and all the way east past Coxwell on the Danforth. The Bloor bike lane is always very busy and I use it daily. Read more

I use Toronto bike lanes occasionally; I am not a regular cyclist but when there are bike lanes going the direction I am going and it is a short ride, I often choose to bike. If there are no bike lanes, I do not, as I don't feel safe. Read more

I’m exceedingly surprised, disappointed and angry that a government that professes to be family friendly would choose to knowingly put the lives my young granddaughters and their parents at risk. They all, including the four year old, regularly use the bike lanes to get around the city. Read more

I am concerned with the removal of bike lanes and would advise against it as everything I've seen in the media (globe and mail, toronto star, cbc , tiktok influencers) suggests that this will not stop gridlock, it will cost money and put the lives of cyclists at risk. Read more

Bike lanes are critical for my family in traveling in Toronto. I commute to work by bike, as does my husband. My 9 year old uses bike lanes when we need to go places as a family. We don't have a car (which helps the overall congestion ) Read more

I don't approve of the province stepping into municipal responsibilities. Municipalities need to look to the future and develop multi-modal transportation solutions. Read more

People that used bicycles will be forced to use cars, therefore worsening the situation. Instead make bicycle infrastructure better and safer to encourage people to use it instead sitting in a traffic jams.
