On Danforth ave west of Victoria park, they removed a bike lane and increased the sidewalk for pedestrians at the expense of more congestion and limited to no throughway of car vehicle traffic especially during rush hour. Read more

Please do NOT take out bike lanes from Toronto. Removing the lanes will increase car traffic and actually create more congestion in the city. Bike lanes are good for the city and the environment. They keep cars and bikes separate making the roads a safer place for everyone. Read more

Many Torontonians, including me, do not own cars because bike infrastructure makes car ownership an unnecessary expense. For some, the financial cost of car ownership is untenable. For others, not owning a car is a choice of convenience. Read more

I am against this bill. Bike lanes should be left to municipal process as the appropriate authority to know the needs of the local population. Most people who work downtown do not drive cars into the core - transit and bike lanes are important for the majority of the population. Read more

Bike lanes are needed in this overcrowded city of Toronto. It saves the life of cyclists and pedestrians, if the bike lanes are removed then cyclists would use the sidewalks and endanger pedestrians. Before the bike lanes was installed many times I was almost hit by speeding cyclists. Read more

I am sitting in a cafe in Paris and overheard a local make fun of this law. They are doing the exact opposite here and it is working. Please reconsider and support active transportation.

This trash bill uplifting vehicular manslaughter is yet another embarrassing and out of touch overreach from the provincial government. It’s an expensive and wasteful bill, with logic born out of some terrible ChatGPT AI slop. Read more

Removing or preventing safe bike lanes is just so wrong from a safety and environmental standpoint. All levels of government should be focusing all efforts to invest in infrastructure to reduce climate change. They need to show leadership! This proposed bill does the exact opposite!

As an Ontario citizen that does not live in Toronto this bill is frankly insulting. Why am I going to pay money to remove infrastructure that the city of Toronto has paid for and clearly wants? The proposed changes to the bike lanes is ridiculous, and even more ridiculous to target a specific city

The removal of the specified bike lanes will have no impact on reducing gridlock. The evidence is clear. Bike lane infrastructure reduces automobile volume and allows car traffic to move more efficiently by providing separation between bikes and cars. Read more

The bike lanes are safe. They create a physical barrier which allows cyclists to travel through the city safely without fear of being hit by cars trying to impatiently beat traffic into the core of the city. Ripping out bike Lanes will cause more accidents and more deaths. Read more

I am appalled by Doug Ford’s shortsighted initiatives to spend millions of dollars ripping out bike lanes. These millions could be much better spent elsewhere - initiatives for affordable housing, education, health care and the opioid crisis. WHAT IS HE THINKING? Read more

I do not support this proposal to remove bike lanes, or for the provincial government to stick its nose in municipal affairs. The proposal will not actually solve the problem of gridlock in Toronto. It is wasteful of taxpayers' money, short sighted, and will lose Ford votes.
