Removing bike lanes will not reduce gridlock. It will increase it, all of the people on bikes will be in cars, because they are afraid of being killed by motorists who speed and give no regard to cyclists. There is nothing new about this as an idea. Fix public transit to reduce gridlock.

Thank you for this opportunity to comment. I live in Toronto and cycling is my primary mode of transport around the city. I cycle to and from work everyday I am in the office, typically 4 days per week. Read more

This proposal is outrageous. Unfounded on evidence or science and a horrendous mis use of public funds. I will never support this political party after this backwards medieval approach to urban planning

Hello, I am deeply concerned over this bill. It should be called "Bill 212, Reducing oversight, Saving government Time Act, 2024" I hate hiding critical issues under the trojan horse of bike lanes to confuse the publix and media, it's very slimy. Read more

Bike lanes make the city safer, for car drivers and cyclists. I own a car, but frequently use the bike lanes to go downtown for errands, instead of looking for parking. As a cyclist, I have had car drivers try to hit me when I've had to share the road with them, while I feel safe in bike lanes. Read more

I am a driver, a cyclist, and a pedestrian. However I am travelling, bike lanes make my trip safer. As a driver, I want to know where other road users are. As a cyclist, I want to make it home to have dinner with my kids. Read more

I have serious questions and concerns about the proposed removal of bike lanes. I've attached an article that goes dispells and unpacks some of the assumed improvements of increased motor traffic lanes better than I can. Read more

Bike lanes keep our kids safe. They’re great for the planet, great to keep the air cleaner for our kids too. As a driver, car owner and a cyclist I deeply deeply wish for this city to join the 20th century and embrace the bike lanes. Read more

Please don’t take away the bike lanes. It’s the only way myself and community feel comfortable commuting around the city. It’s safe for families and people we are new to cycling in the city. It’s much fast than public transit and driving. Read more

My husband and I recently moved to Ottawa because of the bike lane system. After living in Europe and being able to cycle and walk everywhere with many city center cores not allowing cars, we believe that cycling is a vital part of our lifestyle. Read more

There is no faster way to move through the city than riding your bike. We need to keep our cyclists safe! I want future generations to enjoy and move through the city in the same way that I was able to.
