Owning a car isn't possible for everyone and condo parking spots cost so much money, I need to prioritize my bills and food costs. Why make it harder without fixing other problems first?

Removing already established bike lanes in Toronto is going to lead to people being killed.. there are already proven studies that show that bike Lanes reduce vehicle usage and increase travel times by getting cars off the road. Why are these studies not being taken into account? Read more

Bike lanes are an important component of a transportation plan. The location of bike lanes should be the responsibility of the municipality. The provincial government is too far removed from the local conditions to be in control of where bike lanes are located. Read more

Toronto needs more bike lanes, not less. Also, the provincial government shouldn't meddle with a municipal issue such as this, just because the law allows them to. It's a huge over-step. Please spend your time improving healthcare instead, as that is firmly part of your juristiction.

I use the bloor, university, and yonge street bike lanes to commute to work and school everyday like many other cyclists. I would feel unsafe without the protected bike lanes and it would be a shame for the city to destroy valuable infrastructure. Read more

I do NOT want bike lanes ripped up in Ontario. I am a driver due to disability, but bike lanes benefit EVERYONE through better air quality, greater efficiency in getting people around the city, etc. Read more

I don't understand the rationale of removing these bike lanes. The people using them are commuting to work, the grocery store, etc. just as the motorists do, and if the lanes are removed, they will probably be forced to either bike amongst the cars in the car lane or to drive a car themselves.

I am an employee of the University Health Network (UHN) and am writing to state that the removal of bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge, and University Avenue, as has been proposed, will directly impact UHN staff by increasing the risk of accidents for the large number of hospital employees who routinely bik Read more

This is a ridiculous power-grab. Local communities should be in charge of their own bike lanes. There is absolutely no reason for the province to be involved. If this is a good idea, the province should simply take over the management of all cities and city functions.

We need to invest in more bicycle infrastructure, not less. This legislation seems to assume everyone travels by private automobile and only auto drivers need to get somewhere fast. Read more

Hello, my name is Vincent and as someone who commutes on a bike often, this bill is distasteful, wasteful of gouvernement funding and feeling distrustful if this bill does go through. Read more
