I mostly against any road construction that Canada did. building bike lane or demolishing. I am against all of it because they took forever to do it. They dig up Steels and Bayview for more than half a year for a job that likely only gonna take less than a week in other part of the world. Read more

Safe bike lanes are an incredibly important part of me and my families commute and life. We own two cars but choose to bike because we prefer it and are lucky to live in the west end where there are plenty of bike lanes and routes. We hope for more in the future.

I believe that removing bike lanes in Toronto would be a step backwards for our city's future. Bike lanes make the city safer for cyclists, reduce traffic congestion by offering a safe alternative option to driving, improve our air quality, and promote public health. Read more

As both a driver and a bicycle commuter, I find this proposed bill to be ridiculous. It tramples on municipalities' autonomy to find the best local transportation solutions, will not make cycling safer or car commutes faster, and is not based on any evidence or planning principles. Read more

I would like to vigorously protest the provisions of this Bill, regarding the removal of existing bike lanes in Toronto, as well as the quashing of plans for the future creation of bike lanes on Toronto and surrounding streets and roads that would be well-served by having bike lanes. Read more

This bill panders to suburban commuters who do not understand that more lanes do not result in faster travel times for drivers. It scapegoats and endangers cyclists instead of addressing Ontario's actual transportation needs. Read more

Preserving bike lanes while removing street parking can significantly improve urban traffic flow and safety. Research shows that bike lanes do not increase congestion; instead, they often reduce it by encouraging cycling and decreasing car dependency[1][5]. Read more

The proposal to remove sections of the Bloor, University and Yonge bike lanes is a tremendous mistake. The city of Toronto has built excellent biking infrastructure along these routes which provide safe and effective transport. Read more

The government of Ontario's proposal to start ripping up bike lanes is short-sighted and will make cycling dangerous while saving drivers just a little bit of time. It is not a healthy option, but rather one that shows the government is not concerned with lowering emissions levels. Read more
