I live in Bloor West Village. I am retired but not yet a senior. I am a car owner and driver but I also cycle for transportation, errands and fitness. I shop on Bloor more now that I can go by bike. I spend more money than I used to at the shops on Bloor. Read more

I have been riding my bike in Toronto for decades, and with the new bike lanes over the past few years, I'm finally feeling safe. And I'm not the only one, the numbers of cyclists has been skyrocketing. Rush hour on the Bloor or College bike lanes is just as busy as it is for cars. Read more

While the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act proposes a solution to Ontario's traffic problems, its heavy reliance on expanding road infrastructure and neglect of alternative transportation options are shortsighted and ineffective in the long run. Read more

This bill is a signal of the provincial government trying to overstep regarding bike lane restrictions. This will create extra unnecessary work to get provincial approval from people who do not live in or use the infrastructure in the municipality where changes are planned. Read more

This bill will result in a more challenging commute and more difficult access to services and businesses as I bike along bloor street very frequently and make liberal use of the bike lanes. Read more

This Bill is absolutely ridiculous and is a blatant example of Goverment overreach. It is trying to sidestep municipality's wants and needs and make decisions on their behalf without their input. Read more

Eliminating bike lanes will not solve the grid lock challenge of the city. Instead it will put more cyclists to danger. Getting less cars on the road and increasing individual mobility & walkability if this city will.

There is no evidence whatsoever that removing bike lanes and increasing lanes for cars will reduce congestion. In fact, major studies show the opposite: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5c0e5848e5274a0bf3cbe124/latest-evidence-on-induced-travel-demand-an-evidence-review.pdf Read more

My biggest concern with the bike lanes is that they block access for those who are handicapped. I have to stop in the middle of the road to let my handicapped mom out of car and then she can't get over the curbs. Read more

This comment is in support of the Ontario government proposing an addendum to the framework that would require the province to remove sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes in the City of Toronto and return them to a lane of traffic for motor vehicles.

Please remove these bike lanes! It’s makes no sense to take away a lane of traffic and increase congestion and the VAST majority of commuters time. Let alone business are suffering due to the lack of parking and difficult navigating the roads with these over complicated bike lanes. Read more
