The only reason I can imagine why the province is planning on wasting $75 million to remove bike lanes across the city is if the Premier wants to kowtow to his party's base - what other possible reason is there to squander time and money to makework for some construction company? Read more

The Provincial Government has no business meddling in Municipal bike lanes. The proposal to spend more on demolition than the original construction of existing bike lanes is fiscal irresponsibility in the extreme. Read more

Removing bike lanes from Yonge St., University Ave. and Bloor St. will increase cyclist injuries and it will not noticeably improve traffic congestion in the city. Read more

If the stated outcome is to reduce gridlock and save people time, the solution should be a data-based way to reduce the number of cars creating gridlock on the road. Please provide the data that shows bike lanes create gridlock. Read more

Absolutely ridiculous idea. The province has no business getting involved in municipal affairs, when cities understand best what works for them at the local level. Read more

Removing and prohibiting bike lanes is a short sighted, oversimplified solution that won’t serve the public interest in the long run. An experts led thorough review of comparable cases (in Canada and overseas) that demonstrates the outcome over 5 year time span is needed. Read more

I am writing as a Toronto driver, biker and pedestrian to express my strong opposition to the proposed bill that aims to limit municipal control over cycling infrastructure. Read more

My son and his buddies use bikes in Toronto. We need to keep these people safe. We need more bike lanes. Cut away car lanes…we should be using the TTC anyway. Gridlocks are GREAT! They will stop our city members from polluting our environment with all these cars. Too much traffic in Toronto.

I strongly object to this proposed legislation. The Ontario government tries to project a green image but its actions reflect precisely the opposite. There is no evidence whatsoever to support the need for a reduction in bicycle lanes. Read more

Please look forward to what the City will look like in 30 years, not next year. There will be a need for alternative to cars. For that we need safe roads, which needs to include lanes for bikes, scooters and e-bikes. Read more

Bike lanes provide a sustainable alternative to cars, which are polluting our planet more and more. Simply building more roads does not solve the issue: it just encourages more cars to go on roads that jam up the same, contributing more to climate change. Read more

I am opposed to this legislation which overrides municipal decision making. I am also opposed to removing bike lanes in favour of cars. Cars add substantially to green house gas pollution, bikes do not. Read more

Toronto needs more bike lanes. They help keep cyclists safe and help reduce pollution. They also encourage more cyclists to commute and reduce traffic congestion and pollution.

This plan by the current government is one of the dumbest ideas yet. The Ontario government should ONLY in municipal operations/policies when there is the threat of fraud or total mismanagement. This issue does NOT come close to that. Read more
