Ontario’s suburban-based drivers already now pay far less than their fair share of expenses in Toronto to pay for new infrastructure, infrastructure maintenance, road safety, traffic management, and accident cleanup in the city. Read more

This is an example of the Ontario government doing things that the public does not want. It is unfortunate that Ford was voted in by such a small percentage of the population. He is ruining the province. Read more

This proposed bill is a disappointing government overreach by a premier who promised small government and financial responsibility but insists upon wasting tax dollars by fixating on interfering with a single municipality. Read more

Spending so much money to remove these bike lanes is ineffective and unsafe. Removing the bike lanes and replacing with car lanes will simply ADD MORE CARS. Congestion will be the same or worse. Removing the bike lanes will put more cyclists in traffic, putting their lives at risk. Read more

If we want less traffic on the roads, less pollution and healthier communities, having dedicated bike lanes are essential. I wish I could bike everywhere, but I do not feel safe and I am afraid for my life in the roads of Toronto. Read more

Removing bike lanes will not remove bikers, it will only make their commute to work less safe then the cars who are also driving to work. The same amount of traffic will exist, and yet bikers will be placed in a more dangerous position as a result. Read more

I see this bill addendum as a horrible decision and a backwards step for the province to be taking. The bike lanes on Bloor and University are essential infrastructure that I use daily and their removal would put the basic safety of cyclists at risk. Read more

These bike lanes have made it safe and comfortable for me to commute to work by bike - which is actually faster (and sadly, more reliable) than taking the ttc! I also uses the lanes on Bloor almost daily for shopping and to get to my fitness classes. Read more

I am deeply concerned by this bill being put forward by Premier Ford and the Ontario PC Government. I live in London, Ontario, where multiple cyclists die every year as a result of collisions with vehicles. Read more

I live in the Kensington Market neighbourhood and work in the stockyards. I ride my bike everyday using the Bloor Street bike lanes. Without those lanes, there is no safe route to get to work. I stop frequently in the shops, grocery stores, and restaurants along my commute home. Read more

I'm an avid driver, walker and biker in the City of Toronto. I drive and bike Bloor Street. The Bloor Street bike lane is important to my transportation infrastructure. It can't be replaced with any other east-west bike artery and doesn't restrict or delay my movements by car. Read more

I cycle on the Bloor bike lane almost every single day on my way to work. It is essential to my commute and keeps me from driving downtown. It is already treacherous to be a cyclist in Toronto. Read more
