I do not support this. "Saving you time" equals cutting corners and damaging the city and environment, and it's wrong. Stop this insult to democracy and this absolute campaign of lying and greed. Read more

I am a 65 year old woman living in east york, work at a TDSB school. Ever since bike lanes have been installed I feel more confident and safe to ride my bicycle to commute to/from work, do all the grocery shopping and get around the city. Read more

I am a woman who bikes in the city for Transportation. When I am on roads without bikes lanes it is a common occurrence for Male drivers to ‘pretend’ to attempt to hit me with their cars. Aggressively intimidate me with their vehicles off the road. Read more

I think that this proposed bill demonstrates a gross overstepping of provincial authority into affairs which are entirely municipal and in no way represent a provincial matter. Read more

I feel much healthier when I bike to work - and I feel safer when there is a bike lane. It seems absurd that the province is getting involved in regulation around bike lanes. It's the cities responsibility to decide how to organize their roads. Read more

This legislation will have the opposite effect of what it intends, making traffic worse for everybody (including those who are currently complaining about the bike lanes), leading to more deaths and injuries, and it will make it harder for me to spend money in the parts of Toronto that I bike to usi Read more

Improved bicycle infrastructure induces demand for cycling which means fewer cars on the roads. Fewer cars means less traffic and improved safety. Improving safety, increasing traffic flow, and saving money. Read more

I am a senior bike rider. Removing bike lanes will endanger my life and those of my loved ones. Research has repeatedly shown that widening road makes congestion worse Read more

It is important to me that Toronto has bike lanes in as many places as possible. Bike lanes keep cyclists safe, and the safety of cyclists is far more important than potentially cutting a few minutes off traffic.

On some roads where bike lane is proposed to be removed .. there is a median like parts of Bloor St west and on University Avenue it's wider than 20 feet so why not repurpose that for automotive driving lane then removing bike lane & purposefully putting bicyclist in harms way !

Adding traffic lanes has been shown not to reduce congestion. Also, the building of highways can destroy ecosystems and harm human communities. The impact is often strongest on low income communities. We have processes in place to protect people and the environment. Read more

This is a horrible plan. Taking the land of others without their consent is abhorrent. Improving local transit and encouraging the use of public transportation will reduce gridlock. Plowing down people’s homes and land will not solve this.
