I cycle every single day to work and back in Toronto. I cycle with my kids and spouse to get around the city, North-South and East-West. I do this through the year, including winter.

More lanes for cars does not alleviate gridlock, it just widens it. Instead of two lanes of gridlock, you have three; instead of three lanes of gridlock, you have four; instead of four lanes of gridlock, you have - well, you can take it from there.

This proposed legislation is an offensive overreach into municipal jurisdictions. It's also using all the wrong reasons, gridlock is created by cars, not bicycle lanes. This will result in significant loss of PC support in the City of Toronto.
Removing bike lanes and not permitting new bike lanes is dangerous, costly and factually the opposite goal of what you say you are trying to do.
All data shows that bike lanes help with congestion and toronto deserves to manage their own municipal issues.

City Council has failed its taxpaying constituents. The implementation of the bike lanes have been made solely for ideological reasons. They have caused gridlock across the city.

I take the bus to work along an arterial road but I wish I could cycle. The problem is, I don't feel safe cycling on the road and there isn't a way to stay in bike lanes for my whole commute.

The removal of car lanes to be replaced with bicycle lanes would improve cities in our province and hopefully reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. It would allow for better circulation within the city, cleaner air (and thus a healthier population), fitter people, and a more efficient use of space.

This proposal shows complete lack of respect for municpal governments the people who elected them. Not only are your ideas about bike lanes unfounded - they actually encourage people to leave their cars at home thereby reducing gridlock, but your biased , political motivation is truly shameful.
The proposal for provincial oversight on bike lanes will cost people their lives. It runs counter to every single progressive jurisdiction on the planet, setting Ontario back decades.

Cycling is an important part of transportation mix. Any effort to reduce, remove or relocate safe cycling infrastructure (i.e. bike lanes) is a mistake. That infrastructure was installed because individual voters and tax payers chose to elect municipal officials who championed those policies.

As a taxpayer who drives (Allen road, 401, 404 all for my morning commute), takes public transit and cycles I strongly encourage this government to consult the ample amount of data, that shows that allowing alternative modes of transportation will reduce traffic.

This is a huge waste of time and taxpayer money. Providing citizens with safe (personal as well as environmental) alternative forms of transportation is important.

The solution to our gridlock isn't more lanes for more cars. It's creating safe and affordable alternatives that are efficient and available to everyone. This includes bike lanes that privilege cyclists instead of cars.

All evidence about bike lanes shows that they are not the cause of congestion.
Additionally, drivers do not know how to drive following traffic rules and frequently cut off cyclists, endangering them, and killing them. Cyclists deserve safety.

I want bike lanes to be built without provincial restrictions. My city council handles these cases perfectly fine. Why would we add more red tape? I've seen firsthand that bike lanes reduce traffic and increase shopping at small businesses. This proposal is beyond stupid.

It is a colossal waste of taxpayer funds to REMOVE any bike lanes that have been installed, and a gross overreach by the provincial government to dictate what is done on municipal streets by local elected officials.
