Removing bike lanes in Toronto would be a bad idea. I have been cycling in this city for over thirty years, and I use the bike lanes as much as I can every time I ride. Over the past three decades I have noticed a substantial change in the way motorists in the city drive. Read more

Bike lanes are really important to my commute and make it safe and easy for me to go where I need to. Removing the lanes make the city less accessible to the people that actually live here and need to get places.

Honestly who does getting rid of bike lanes benefit? It makes it far more dangerous for both bikers and drivers. Getting rid of bike lanes does not eliminate bikes it just makes it more dangerous to get from one place to another. Read more

This proposal is bad for the environment (will increase the number of cars on the road), will cost tax payers too much for removal of infrastructure that already exists and has minimal costs for upkeep, and is classist in that it assumes everyone can afford a car. Read more

I strongly disagree with this plan. As a resident of Toronto who lives on Bloor st and is a driver and cyclist, who also regularly uses the Bloor bike lane, I find it appalling that the government would try to spend my tax payer money to remove the bike lanes. Read more

YOUR BILL IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD. This will set Toronto's cycling paths BACK at least a decade, destroying improvements that have already been made to the cycling network. Not only that, but Doug Ford is ACTIVELY, WILLFULLY putting the lives of cyclists AT RISK by removing these. Read more

I do not support building Highway 413. Alternative solutions for long-distance travel and commuting should be explored to reducing traffic, such as subsidizing tolls on Highway 407 or investing in alternative modes of transport such as transit systems. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed framework that would enable provincial approval for the removal of bike lanes, including those on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. in Toronto. Bike Lanes Save Lives: Read more

A backwards and irresponsible policy that should not be implemented. While I do like having a my car(s) and appreciate the convenience having the option to safely travel by bicycle should be an option. Read more

This bill will result in more deaths and injuries. As a driver I feel much safer with well definded bike lanes and it improves my focus on the road and other drivers (who are becoming more impatient and reckless - as demonstrated by collision reports every day). Please withdraw it. Read more

As a concern, Ontario citizen, this legislation would revoke my safety and rights on the roadways that I pay for with my taxes and the government's drastic overstep into municipal issue without any supportive evidence that this would reduce. Read more

Please do not rip out the bike lanes. It is a waste of tax-payer money, will INCREASE (not decrease) congestion, and lead to more cyclists deaths. Whether there are bike lanes there or not, cyclists will still use the road. Read more

This is the most ridiculous thing I've read in 15 years in this city. We JUST got the damn bike lanes put in, now yall want to spend MILLIONS of our tax dollars taking them out again? That's insane. Construction and sheer population increase are what is causing gridlock- not bike lanes. Read more

Safety and lives of cyclists does not outweigh the false convenience of motorists in Toronto. Keep provincial suburbanite government out of municipalities. You don't live here.
