I do not support removal of bike lanes or the prioritization of additional car infrastructure over alternative transportation methods such as bikes or transit. Read more

Thank you very much for the opportunity to comment. I support encouraging active emissions-free transportation. However, I believe the cycling lanes on Bloor are a step too far in Etobicoke. I often sit idling in these lanes, wondering how much CO2 I produce as I see no cyclists using them. Read more

I live in the Bloor West area near Royal York and the bike lanes are EMPTY! The cars, TTC buses and school buses are trapped daily in gridlock. It is nonsense on a level that is hard to comprehend. Come and look for yourself one day instead of reading comments.

Nearly every study ever conducted, as well as fairly obvious logic, argues that *increasing* the safety and ease of biking *reduces* congestion and eases climate impact. Please consider: which takes up less space on a road: a person on a bike or a person in a car. Read more

I live in Toronto and cycle to work everyday, all year round (except typically for 2 weeks each winter). Cycle lanes make a huge difference in my ability to safely navigate the city, and lack of cycling infrastructure costs lives. Read more

Bike lanes are important to me and the lifestyle I have. A few years back I never used to bike around the city as I felt it was dangerous to be on the streets with city drivers and bike lanes were few and far between to be convenient. Read more

(1) Having biked in Toronto for the last 35 years, I have seen the new bike lanes as a welcoming addition. I have seen far too many cyclists being hit by cars over the years - we cannot safely share the road with bikes, and we cannot use sidewalks as that endangers pedestrians. Read more

Bike lanes in Toronto need to be done better. What exists now is very bad for everyone, even the bikers. There is no way to make biking perfectly safe on major routes. Bike lanes should be on secondary roads, like Harbord, where they work okay. Read more

I am not an eloquent writer but I have to comment on this mess of a bill. I do not agree with any of the proposed sections. The most bothersome is that highway 413 (another completely ridiculous thing this government is gifting us) would be exempt from environmental impact assessments. Read more

I live 2 blocks south of Bloor near Montgomery. The bike lane changes have been poorly implemented, created many safety issues and from my daily visits to Bloor street there is limited usage of these lanes despite the significant disruption they have caused. Read more

About time, a provincial government who has seen and experienced the gridlock as a result of these bike lanes and is listening to the people. They are useless, very expensive where the money spent on them could be placed elsewhere. Read more

As an avid cyclist that cycles over 10,000 km annually for the past 15 years, most of these within the GTA area, I have a strong desire to achieve safe cycling outcomes while respecting the needs of motorists. Read more
