I oppose this bill. I am a car driver, not a cyclist and I live on Yonge street where one of the targeted bike lanes exists but I fully support the benefits that the bike lanes bring to the city. Every cyclist is one less car! All empirical evidence backs up the benefits of the bike lanes. Read more

I think it’s shameful that a city on the scale of Toronto is even considering removing bike lanes AGAIN. Toronto is a blend of people and loads of transportation to get around through the city. We have to provide way as of course, all of those of transportation. Read more

I am writing to oppose removing bike lanes. Bike lanes throughout the city of Toronto saves lives. People should have the right to choose our mode of transportation and be able to feel safe. We need more bike lanes that separate or protect cyclists from vehicles, like sidewalks do for pedestrians. Read more

Cycling is a main form of transportation in the city for many. The visibility of cyclists make cycling a more acceptable and viable method of transportation in the city. Urban planning to make sure they are safe and reliable is crucial. Read more

This wouldn’t save me any time at all. Congestion is up from 2022 because there are more back to office protocols in place. That means more people are on the road again, not that bike lanes caused grid lock. Read more

I am a senior who rides my bike safely within designated bike lanes. I leave my car at home most days. If you remove designated bike lanes, I will not feel safe riding in traffic and will take my car instead. Read more

I am opposed to the government's decision to change the bike lanes in Toronto or to in any way have jurisdiction over the building of these lanes in the future. The provincial government is abusing the democratic rights of the citizens of Toronto by interfering in this process. Read more

We must reduce the number of cars on the road for the climate's sake. The more bikes the better. This removal of bike lanes is regressive. Make public transportation more attractive. Reduce transit fares. Increase frequency of trains, buses. That is the way to go. Read more

I am so, so tired of Doug Ford playing mayor of Toronto! Stay in your ‘own lane’. Spend time, attention and desperately needed funds on healthcare and don’t continue to waste it undoing bad, only ego driven decisions. A concerned citizen from Lyton Park, Toronto

I am a driver, a bike rider, a pedestrian and a shopper. I support bike lanes in all these "identities". I worry less about hitting a biker when I'm driving on a street with a bike lane, and less about getting hit by a car as a bike person and a pedestrian. Read more

This proposal is unsafe and the wrong approach to traffic gridlock in the city. We should be encouraged to write bikes in the city without danger, not dissuade people. As a kid in growing up in the city, I almost got injured riding my bike with my dad because of the lack of bike lanes. Read more

This is an abhorrent waste of taxpayers money and has been proven many times that bike lanes don’t create congestion but rather REDUCE it. I’ve haven’t seen such a misguided piece of legislation in quite some time.

I am appalled at the overreaching bill that you are planning to pass around bike lanes. I am from Ottawa and bike lanes are highly used and enjoyed, but we still have major gaps to allow people to safely get around. Read more

If the province intends to force municipalities to remove their dedicated cycling infrastructure in favour of vehicle lanes, they should be required to upload these roadways to the provincial road network at their cost and assume all maintenance and liability for these roads. Read more
