We can't have it both ways - protecting bikers "one death is one too many" Does Mr. Ford remember saying that? I actually drive a car and take TTC. Bikes are another part of our transportation needs.

I live in downtown Toronto and I regularly need to drive to Scarborough as the primary caregiver for an 88 year old senior. I strongly support dedicated separated bike lanes on the routes that I take.

The bike lanes should not be removed! We need fewer cars on the road to speed traffic, which means more bikes and more public transit. And bike riders need to be protected from cars. Too many riders have been killed.

Please do not cut back on the bike lanes. They may not be perfect, but they are safer for the growing number of cyclists and easier for drivers. We need the bike lanes. They are our future.
Cyclists are permitted to take up the same space as a vehicle on the road. Without bike lanes, traffic on roads will be increased and slow down as cyclists that are displaced will cycle with vehicles on main roads.

While I support the concept of dedicated bike lanes for safety reasons, I do not believe the decisions as to where they were placed and how many were erected were made with sensible judgment.

Let municipal governments decide where they want bike lanes! The provincial government should not be overriding their choices! Ontario's cities have lots of car drivers, more than bike riders, so if bike lanes are seriously blocking car traffic, city governments would not create them.

I know young people who have been killed in Toronto due to the lack of bike lanes. They are dead because they were hit by careless drivers who were in a hurry to get somewhere.

The proposed changes are a shocking overreach of municipal powers over local traffic that will send us back to an era of overcrowded and unsafe streets. The evidence shows that dedicated bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and Avenue Road has already saved many lives without adding to congestion.

Bicycles ARE traffic. On busy roads, bike lanes provide safety.
If everyone in a car was riding a bike, roads would look empty. So the idea that bike lanes are not used enough is spurious.
Bikes don’t cause gridlock. Cars cause gridlock.

The current bike lanes ensure cyclists are able to ride safely to their destination. Removal threatens the safety of bike lane users, and increase chances of collision and injury with motorists.

I'm truly sorry if the Premier is upset that his travel time to his office at Queen's Park is taking a little longer than it seemed to take a couple of years ago: he blames this on the 'bike lanes' on Bloor Street.

I am a resident of Toronto and I do not support the province's plan for the removal of bike lanes. The issue of bike lanes is inherently a municipal issue, and it should remain that way.

A proven method of reducing congestion, which appears to be the purpose of this Bill, is to levy congestion fees. Other cities, such as London England, and Stockholm Sweden, have done so with great success. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/what-on-earth-congestion-pricing-1.7369112

Please consider studying the removal of the Danforth Avenue bike lanes from Broadview eastwards. The car traffic is bad and many times I have seen emergency vehicles stuck, this is unacceptable and very unsafe.

Utterly bizarre decision.
How much did it cost to develop the bike lanes?
How much would it cost to remove them?
Does Toronto want to ignore global concerns about a warming planet? Does Toronto not want to be a green city?
