The 413 is anticipated to add 17 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and over a billion dollars in waste to Ontario. This is for a highway which no one has asked for. Read more

How about investing more in improving the connectivity of public transit instead. The best way to reduce congestion is to have less cars on the road in the first place. This proposal is regressive, wasteful and unnecessary.

I’ve lived at South Kingsway & Bloor for nine years now and was thrilled to see the bike lanes extended. I have four kids and have not used them once, and I still wholeheartedly support their existence. I honestly do not think traffic has been affected much by them. Read more

Fundamentally, this logic is flawed — greater infrastructure for cyclists, like bike lanes, reduces the amount of people needing to take a car, and increases the ability to ride safely. Read more

Bike lanes don’t cause traffic, cars do!! I have noticed more bikes in my neighbourhood when the bike lanes are made safer, and I have felt much better about biking to work instead of driving/ttc. It is so much faster and not to mention I feel so much better when I get to work! Read more

We need more bike lanes, specifically protected bike lanes. Encouraging cycling reduces vehicle traffic, increases available parking, and improves air quality. Ripping out existing cycling infrastructure is an absolute failure of leadership and an insult to taxpayers.

I am reaching out as a concerned taxpayer regarding the new anti-bike lane provincial legislation. All emprirical evidence suggests that a multi-modal transportation network, including bikes, is the only long term solution to improve safety for ALL road users!! Read more

A 13 year old girl was killed on Nov 7th while in a separated bike lane by a careless driver making a turn through the bike lane crosswalk and you want to tear the ones down in Toronto and go back to bike deaths every few days? Read more

I traveled to Toronto for work recently after having lived there previously. I biked to my job site and have never felt so safe biking in the city. It was incredible to have dedicated lanes and while traveling surring rush hour I never saw "gridlock". Read more

I am absolutely and resolutely against passing this bill. I am a resident in the City of Toronto, I work in Healthcare as a Registered Social Worker, and I commute to work using the Bloor/Danforth bike lane everyday. I travel from Landsdowne to Victoria Park, on the bike lane the whole ride. Read more

The idea to remove bike lanes for another lane of traffic is absurd. This whole proposition is a diversion from the political party in power’s other terrible ideas. A pathetic attempt to shift our focus. Read more

I'll keep this brief. This is an absurd piece of legislation that should be scrapped immediately. It will delay infrastructure projects by creating a mass of red tape that municipalities will need to break through to build, upgrade, or maintain road and transit infrastructure. Read more
