Bike lanes in the city play a crucial role in saving lives by providing cyclists with dedicated spaces, reducing the likelihood of accidents. They create a buffer between bikes and fast-moving vehicles, minimizing collisions and increasing safety for everyone on the road. Read more

The solution is to not remove bike lanes. We have residents of ON driving into the city for work because it’s hard for them to get around the large city of Toronto. If transit was a better and safer option people would take it. This has nothing to with bike lanes. Read more

This is such a waste of money and another slap in the face to all Torontonians who use their bike to get around the city and by doing so actually help reduce the traffic jam. Read more

Such a terrible idea, and a giant waste of taxpayers dollars Some of these bike lanes were JUST implemented, only to have them torn out? Our government is falling apart...

Don't spend my tax dollars on tearing out sorely needed infrastructure. Look at the science and research surrounding bike lanes - the long-term improvement on traffic congestion as alternatives to cars become available; the improved safety, resulting in lower healthcare costs. Read more

I strongly disagree with both the proposed removal of bike lane infrastructure and building a new highway. Ontario needs more support and budget for alternative forms of transport such as bikes, trains, and buses. I voted for the Conservatives in the last provincial election. Read more

Idiotic legislation. Provide proper public transportation if you are so concerned about gridlock. This will solve nothing and infact make the gridlock worse as cyclists will now be on the road instead of thier dedicated bike lane.

Forcing Toronto to mix bikes with cars will not benefit Ontario -- on the contrary, it will harm Ontario by making Yonge, Bloor and University slower and more hazardous. Read more

Most of the countries around the world are focused to eliminate car usage from their cities due to their environmental impact. Each bike that's on the road is one less car, meaning less pollution. Read more

Hi there, I was born in Toronto, and I've been biking here since I was a child. Over that time, I've learned that if there is not space for me, the only way to be safe is to be the size of a car. Read more

Every day I cycle to work down the Yonge and Bloor Street bike lanes. For my first eleven years in Toronto, I avoided biking because I was too afraid of how dangerously drivers behave on the roads here. Read more

The Ontario Municipal Act includes laws and provisions for municipalities in Ontario to create, manage and change their roadways. These have been, and continue to be sufficient to allow municipalities to manage their own public spaces and infrastructure. Read more

This proposal is absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of tax payers money. Nobody wants this to happen. Instead of For the People, maybe Doug Ford should actually LISTEN to the people, because this is not what we want.

This is a large mistake, the cities bike lanes are what prevent more traffic from happening. Many people use the lanes and if they were taken away, bikes would have to be forced into the lanes causing more traffic.

Too many people die or get injured from cycling. Bike lanes go a long way to making it safer for everyone. Alternative forms of transportation to cars like cycling and public transport have been shown to be the most effective at reducing congestion. I DO NOT support this bill in any way.
