I’m a resident in Toronto who has lived in the downtown for nearly 10 years. It took 8 years for me to begin cycling in the city. Doing so, has made me witness the city and appreciate its often overlooked beauty. Read more

This is foolish. Bike lanes improve traffic and improve safety for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers. Doug Ford is wasting taxpayer money in the name of a bizarre culture war grievance.

This bill is an outrageous waste of my tax dollars. We should be building and expanding more bike infrastructure, not tearing it up. There should be separated bike lanes on every major Toronto thoroughfare . Read more

I strongly support the proposal. Reduction of the traffic lines for the creation of bike lines only creates big traffic. I live near the Bloor Street in Mississauga. I never seen anyone on biking on Bloor St. in this area, and hardly anyone walks on the sidewalk in the area. Read more

I am against this proposal to remove the bike lanes on these major streets of Toronto. These routes are critical to cyclists navigating through the city, and see a huge amount of use. Read more

This decision is not one to be taken lightly. If you make the wrong decision then not only will cyclists die, but the vehicle driver will also be affected. The velocity that cars travel at on city streets make it likely that a cyclist will die if they are hit. Read more

I am a 33 year-old teacher from Toronto. I cycle and am looking forward to Toronto becoming a city with a great cycling culture with infrastructure (bike lanes, sheltered bike racks, signs and lights). We have to build the city we want, even if there is a delay in that vision becoming a reality. Read more

This is not a good use of tax payer money. We want less cars on the roads. Encourage alternate forms of transportation. It would be better to use this money to improve transit in the city so that less people would have to drive everywhere. Also helps the environment. Read more

As someone who has to commute by car every single day, removing bike lanes will NOT decrease traffic and would only increase congestion! $48 million dollars to remove these lanes could be going into something useful for the citizens of Toronto.

So once again the Premier of Ontario is choosing to use his power to harass Toronto rather than serve the Province and address the actual problems Ontarians care about. Read more

The amount of time this saves people in their commute, does not come close to the terrible environmental impact this will have on our (already dwindling) natural spaces in Southerm Ontario. Our current infrastructure is not working, will continue to worsen in the coming years under climate change. Read more

Please don’t tear up the bike lanes! They are crucial for cyclist safety and the environment. They also move people off of the strained public transit for many months of the year. The problem is not the bike lanes, it is the on-street parking taking up entire lanes — stop blaming bikes!

Terrible idea. I fear for the safety of cyclists in our community, including those in my family. To improve congestion you need to create MORE alternatives, not fewer. This is basic stuff. Why are we spending 48 million dollars on this? A huge waste.
