While I agree that traffic is a problem in the GTA, particularly downtown Toronto, we must look long term and make space for alternate forms of transportation. Our public transit expansions are for the most part long delayed and significantly over budget.

Bike lanes make pedestrians safer: Bike lanes provide cyclists with a dedicated space, keeping them off the roads and away from pedestrian areas.

I don't cycle in Toronto, don't need to. I may in the future. What's plain to anyone is that this plan is nothing more than another aspect of Doug Ford's sick, twisted vendetta against Toronto. Also, it makes a handy distraction from all the investigations into his corrupt actions as Premier.

Removing bike lanes is outright foolishness and dangerous. It will kill vulnerable road users. Ontario Government may have total disregard for data and evidence-based policy making but this measure of actually removing bike lanes goes way beyond that. It is a jurisdictional over-reach.

A bike lane is essential for individuals who rely on bicycles for commuting, as it provides a safer environment for cyclists. Rather than being removed, bike lanes should be improved and optimized.
Toronto needs bike lanes for public safety.
This infrastructure is important and vital to the cycling community and removing it would be extremely wasteful and detrimental to the lives of the many cyclists in this city.
Do not spend 48 million dollars of Ontarians tax dollars to remove bicycle lanes that increase the safety of Ontarians and that every single major habitable city in the world has. Don't set Toronto backwards.

Research consistently proves that building bigger roads invites more cars and doesn’t improve the flow of traffic. Removing bike lanes will put more bicycles into the right lane and will not improve traffic flow.

Doug Ford does not care about the safety or quality of life of Ontarians. Period. If you remove these lanes more people will die on these streets because of amount of accidents that will occur. This will also cause more congestion which seems to be the only thing he cares about.

This is a horrible bill. It’s wasteful of taxpayer money and will make roads more dangerous. The Conservatives are once again ignoring evident and expert advice to pursue ideological goals and it is infuriating.

There are so many important things to do, why focusing on something putting patient's life at risk and ignoring the reality of global warning and the nee to encourage alternatives to car as a path to the futre.
As someone who bikes to my job regularly, I take advantage of these bike lanes. Congestion usually only really occurs for 1-2 hours a day, while bike lanes help protect cyclists year round.

Bike lanes provide a safe, environmentally friendly and healthy way for people to travel across the city. As the network expands more and more people are choosing cycling as a means of travel.

I'm a long time bike rider in downtown Toronto and have felt so much more mobile and safe since the installation of the extensive network of bike lanes.
I almost never take my car out, unless I am leaving the city.
PLEASE KEEP AND BUILD MORE BIKE LANES.

The bike lanes in the city allow safe travel for an individual that takes up far less room than a car. The more people that are on bikes the fewer people there are in cars.
As an avid cyclist, I implore you to not remove bike lanes, if anything we should be adding them. With the seeming increase in distracted driving, cyclists are more at risk than ever.
I am a 68-year-old cyclist who has been cycling in Toronto for more than 30 years. During that time I have been hit three times by a car, and taken to the hospital twice by ambulance. And yet, I have persisted in cycling and have been gratified by how much safer it has become over time.

The premier should put money towards finishing the eglinton line — a project that was almost finished 40 years ago but the conservatives cancelled it and filled in the tunnels.
