Cycling downtown is an important form of transportation. As a City of Toronto home owner and taxpayer, I expect the City to make decisions consistent with City of Toronto priorities. Read more

The cost for implementing these lanes has already been spent, important infrastructure that improves travel times and safety for both bikers and drivers by reducing the number of cars on the road. Read more

I use the Bloor bike lanes that this bill proposes to rip out every day to travel within the city. It used to be so much more unsafe when the bike lane didn't exist. Read more

This bill is the wrong approach to fixing gridlock in Toronto. More roads begets more cars begets more traffic. If we must increase road lanes there are so many more things that would speed up the traffic downtown — fixing street parking to start. Read more

While I can sympathize with my fellow bikers that bike lanes are essentially for flow of traffic and safety, I disagree that EVERY ROAD requires a bike lane. I believe Bloor St W, west of Jane street, should not be a single lane of traffic both directions and should have the bike lane removed. Read more

Municipalities should remain in control of the construction of the bike lanes. The existing network is limited and incomplete. Additional barriers to the development of the bike network is a bad decision. Removing bike lanes on streets like bloor is a bad decision. Read more

As someone who commutes to work by bike every day, I strongly urge the city to keep the bike lanes we already have. These lanes are essential for my safety and the safety of countless other cyclists who rely on them to navigate the city. Read more

There is simple way to reduce car congestion. Give people a credible alternative that gets them out of their cars and gets them where they need to go. Separated bike lanes reduce the number of cars on the road, and protect cyclists and drivers. Read more

The removal of existing bike lanes is wildly inappropriate and an overreach of Provincial power. As someone who drives Bloor Street daily between Kipling and Runnymede, Bloor now feels much safer to drive on as cars are not zipping in and out, jockeying for position and avoiding parked cars.

More bike infrastructure not less. Both my Wife and I commute by bike and car. This is a ridiculous decision, likely supported by bad data and a tax payer base who for the most part are rarely inconvenienced by a bike lane. Cyclists are a solution, not the problem!
