This policy is based on a complete lack of understanding of urban transportation. Making more room for cars does not reduce traffic, and this has been proven over and over again with study after study for decades. Read more

This is an unnecessary amount of money to spend that will just result in loss of lives and unsafe driving conditions for cyclists. Enforce laws that have them wear helmets, don’t reduce their safety by removing these lanes. Cyclists aren’t going anywhere

Please leave the present bike lanes intact and usable. Removing will cost so much money, time and traffic. When there is construction happening there is also always an increase of risk on pedestrians and cyclists. Read more

I think that bike lanes are important for a number of reasons: --the presence of bike lanes means that many are encouraged to cycle because they feel that bike lanes help to protect their safety --more bikes on the road mean fewer cars Read more

I just wish to say that the legislation as proposed is very confusing to understand, but if you probe its depths, you come to realize, that what is being proposed is totally dictatorial and undemocratic… So that what I have to say may not be confusing, I will say unequivocally: Read more

The bike lanes provide an excellent means for people who need to get around the city for work or pleasure on their bicycles safely. There needs to be more consultation and participation on where they are put in to prevent disruption to the others who use the roads. Read more

It is ridiculous to remove existing bike lanes. Prioritizing cars is not the way to reduce emissions. Municipalities should have control over their own road-use decisions without interference from Queen's Park.

I use my bike everyday in Toronto to commute. I live near Mt Pleasant where there are no bike lanes and while riding I am often almost side swiped by cars going dangerously close to me. Read more

I am both a driver and a cyclist. My primary mode of transportation into work is biking along the Bloor and Yonge bike lanes. I was initially hesitant because of stories of drivers hitting cyclists, but bike lanes made me feel safe for my daily commute. Read more

Gridlock is a major problem in Ontario, however the solution to this problem is not building more roads. There have been many studies that have shown that adding extra lanes to roads in fact increases traffic over time. Read more

Bicycle lanes make a world class city where people can move around easily and not only if they have cars. Please do not backtrack on the good work that’s been done to make space for cyclists as well as cars. More cyclists mean cleaner air, and a healthier city in general. Read more

While I have very little confidence in this government to act in the best interests of the citizens of the City of Toronto (we didn’t vote for them, after all), I still hope it’s possible that this deeply flawed legislation is reconsidered. Read more

This is shameful. Bike lanes are proven to improve safety, reduce emissions, and increase the livability of cities. Removing them is a massive waste of taxpayer money and it is simply spiteful. What a joke.
