Bloor Street is never going to be a free-flowing traffic artery. It never was. Bike lanes keep me safe. As a cyclist and actual citizen of this city, I have a right to get downtown or to my place of work safely! Read more

Hello. I am a Toronto resident in the University-Rosedale constituency. I travel around the city by bicycle, by car and by walking and transit. Averaged out over one year, I probably use all three modes about equally. Read more

Climate change is real, and can be catastrophic. Adding more cars to more roads is just so incredibly shortsighted. Selling political points for a little bit of convenience and material gain. Time for this government to show some true vision for the future. Read more

My wife and I are in our fifties. We are not particularly athletic, and dare say we spend more time on the sofa than we should. Nevertheless we cycle to work using the protected bike lanes on Bloor. It just makes sense for us. Read more

This proposal will impact many people who are trying to support environmental change and get places safely. This will impact many people who don’t have other means to get places, too. The bike lanes help people safely get across the city. This bill is awful. Bike lanes save lives.

We are so far behind in our battle against GHG that we need to use every tool available to us and one of the easiest is to create more, safe lanes for bicycles and other alternative transportation. Read more

I vehemently OPPOSE this bill. I am NOT OKAY with my taxes going towards REMOVING the bike lanes I actively use everyday, as biking in the city is my primary mode of transportation. I DO NOT see the cost to benefit ratio making sense for this bill to be passed. Read more

Given the age of the city of Toronto, in addition to the many hills, ravines, and streams that exist within the city, there are few to no alternatives to having bike lanes on major roads. Read more

This proposal is a ridiculous waste of time and money and another example of Ontario Provincial Government overreach. Removing bike lanes/ preventing their installation will only serve to make municipal roads more dangerous and save motorists minuscule amounts of time. Read more

I am not in support of this at all. It seems like an incredible overreach of provincial authority and an unnecessary addition of bureaucracy to what should be simple urban planning decisions. Read more

Removing the bikes lanes on Bloor St, Yonge St, and University Ave will make cycling in the downtown core much more dangerous for cyclists. There have already been six cyclist fatalities in Toronto in 2024, and countless injuries, and removing the bikes lanes will only increase these numbers. Read more

I am a senior. I cannot afford to own a car. I can afford to own a bicycle. My bicycle and the bike lanes allow me to shop locally, actively, safely… Since I have taken up active bike riding Ilv become much fitter, I’ve lost lots of weight, my overall health has improved. Read more

Removal of bike lanes is a terrible idea. I thought conservatives believed in small government? Why is the province dictating what happens in my local neighbourhood? This feels like a distraction from the province's own inability to complete the Eglinton Crosstown project. Read more

This bill is either misguided or willfully not interested in reducing traffic gridlock, for the following reasons. The most efficient way of reducing traffic is to decrease the number of cars on the road. Read more

Toronto's bike lanes are in their infant stage. There have been many growing pains, both for drivers and cyclists. However, time will reflect what a wonderful beginning this has been. Time will show what an amazing new city Toronto will turn into. Read more
