Thank you for bringing common sense back to transportation infrastructure. Bike lanes are fine but not when they're taking existing entire vehicle lanes to make them.
I support bike lanes in the city of Toronto where it makes sense. Ripping out 2 lanes of traffic on Bloor Street and executing the most confusing and convoluted set of lanes made no sense. The usage and demand is not there and the congestion it created is unacceptable.

How, in 2024, can a government propose a bill so outrageously backwards ? ZERO evidence demonstrates this bill will impact drivers to reduce traffic.
The bill does not cite a single respected piece of evidence.
I cant believe I ever supported the PC. Such waste, such poor planning.

This issue has really brought to light the mismanagement of city funds for construction and the inability to price and excite appropriately. The bike lanes were inefficiently installed and are limiting to tax payers access to important resources.

If I die because of a vehicle collision while I’m biking in an open road, unprotected due to the destruction of bicycle lanes, my blood will be on Doug Fords hands. If he can fathom the responsibility of a death spike, then take away the lanes and be content with murder
I am strongly opposed to the provincial government interfering with bike lane decisions made by municipal councils. These decisions should be left to the cities and not micromanaged by the province.

It is deeply upsetting and a grotesque act of government overreach should this bill be passed. Why is the Provincial government trying to obstruct and involve itself in municipal issues? Makes no sense.
The policy has not been thought through in all its dimensions. The plan may have some unintended consequences: removing bike lanes will mean pushing cyclists onto the roadway and sharing the road with cars - this could slow down traffic even more.

The bike lanes on Bloor Street are a disaster. They have created traffic not to mention a hazard and safety issue for emergency vehicles. I have been stuck in traffic with no one using the bike lanes and lineup of cars trying to navigate through the city.

Please reject the bill because it's a Trojan horse disguising a bike lane issue, while actually attacking on property rights, and trying to allow Highway 413 be exempt from any environmental impact assessments.
This bill is not only a huge step backwards for Ontario it’s also highly manipulative and misleading the way it has been “bike lanes bike lanes” while the government tries to quietly sneak through even worse legislation that strips the rights of land and property owners.

Removing bike lanes in a metropolitan city is simply ludicrous. Please come and meet the team that worked hard at the City of Toronto to study, design, consult, redesign and install them.

The bike lanes are ridiculously in our neighbourhood, Islington and Bloor, Royal York , to bloor West village.
Ambulances, fire vehicles, police cannot move around our streets to help people that need it with these bike lanes.

It's so typical that Ford wants to keep cars moving on Toronto streets, but bikes and other slower devices like scooters come a distant second (if lucky). Bike lanes allow its users to "save time" too, as well as staying safe, but heaven forbid they should interfere with the privilege of cars.

Can this Conservative government accomplish anything without putting its time and money into Toronto?
Why does this bill remove the ability for people who are forced off their property to appeal the process? Why is the proposed highway 413 exempt from environmental impact analysis?

There should not be an exemption to the requirement for an environmental impact assessment for Highway 413. Removing this requirement is a negligent and dangerous action on the part of the current government of Ontario.
I moved to Canada in 2001 from the US to run a biotech company in Toronto. After the company was sold, I decided to stay in Toronto because it was a great place to live and I became a Canadian citizen in 2022.
