Not only is this bill description misleading but extremely biased in describing what improves traffic and a city. You could have used chat gpt for a better solution and title because 'just make people drive more' is very uninspiring and uncreative city planning. Read more

I live and work in Toronto. My commute is about an hour and a half one way. I'm all for reducing gridlock but attacking bike lanes is like trying to kill a mosquito with a rocket launcher. Read more

The proposal to remove these bike lanes from our city is a shortsighted and dangerous decision that prioritizes convenience for a few over the safety and well-being of many. Read more

There is far more evidence to support the fact that more cars increase congestion and creating safer and more efficient infrastructure for people to choose different modes of transportation will decrease gridlock and frustration, which will in turn decrease bad driving habits. Read more

Please do not remove divided bike lanes! These infrastructures keep me safe on a daily basis. Allowing bicycles to have their own lane allows road traffic to focus on motorized vehicle traffic in a streamlined way without worrying about competing with slower bike traffic. Read more

Please please please do not pass this bill! Bike lanes are important, and are how I get around the city quicker than in a vehicle. Cities need to maintain control over when and where they can add bike lanes. If more people leveraged cycling there would be less traffic and less emissions!

Dear Premier Ford, I live in the Bloor West area of Toronto, but I'm from Etobicoke and drive there and back almost daily. I only drive and never use a bike, and I am asking you to KEEP THE BIKE LANES in Toronto. Read more

I frequently drive along Bloor and Danforth and derive great comfort knowing that the cyclists are riding on a protected part of the road. It makes no sense to rip up these bike lanes! How often do people who complain about the bike lanes order food that is delivered by vulnerable cyclists.

Do not remove bike lanes. These are crutial to making Toronto a livable city. Decisions on bike lane infrastructure should be based on tangible data and done at the city level.

The measures proposed in this act would endanger the lives of cyclists in the City of Toronto. They seem spiteful and misaligned with the desires and concerns of Torontonians. Why the province is meddling in urban affairs is unclear. Read more

I used to be terrified of biking in downtown Toronto. It wasn’t until a friend spent days persuading me to try it—promising we’d stick to bike lanes—that I finally gave in and bought a 24-hour city bike pass. That decision changed my life. Read more

It is wrong for the Ontario government to remove bike lanes in Toronto. This is a contravention of local democracy and for this reason alone, will do more harm than good. Also, the proposed changes by Doug Ford are not based on any evidence, but is a divisive political move. Read more

Most cities around the world are trying to reduce car traffic by introducing more and more bicycle lanes; our provincial government is doing the opposite, eliminating existing bicycle lanes at a major expense to the tax payers. Read more
