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 proposal is so incredibly ill-conceived. There seems to be an assumption (not backed by data) that bike lanes are the cause of vehicle traffic congestion, rather than looking at this infrastructure as a more space-saving way to move people through the city. Read more

I am in favour of this proposal. The bike lanes on Bloor, University and Younge streets are a detriment to Torontonians. The city or Toronto has been negligent in the process of collecting data. Bike lanes should not take priority over existing lanes of traffic.

The bike lanes on Bloor have completely disrupted this wonderful neighbourhood. I never see anyone cycling on these lanes - they are completely useless in this area. Read more

Hi! I am vehemently opposed to the removal of bike lanes in Toronto! I own a home and a small business, each is located near or on separate bike lane-accessible locations in the city and it has been GREAT to see so many people using them. Read more

I am both a cyclist and a driver, but I oppose putting in bike lanes on major roads in Toronto. Our city has enough congestion and removing car lanes to put in bike lanes is not fair and does not take into account the reality of traffic in Toronto today. Read more

We need to have a moratorium on highway building, we have done quite well to this day without highway 413, and the Bradford Bypass, which will only add to greenhouse gas emissions. Read more

Pulling out bike lanes is expensive, useless, and capricious. Cyclists aren't going anywhere and will only be more at risk, and the process was rushed and did not include proper consultation with community stakeholders or experts.

This bill is harmful in an untold number of ways. Not only will it not reduce gridlock or save me time, but it will cost significant amounts of money, and destroy vital public infrastructure that I use on a daily basis. Read more

6 cyclists have died in Toronto in 2024 alone - five on roads with no bike lanes, and one when a dumpster was blocking a bike lane and force the cyclist into a lane with car traffic. Read more

Bike lanes increase safety for cyclists, which not only helps reduce congestion by reducing the number of cars on the road, but also helps reduce carbon emissions, and encourages physical fitness in the population. Read more

Hello, I am strongly against the proposal to remove bike lanes from Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. I live in the Danforth area and am a regular cyclist. I heavily rely on those bike lanes, particularly the lanes on Bloor, to get around the city quickly and safely by bike. Read more

I am really hoping to see the bike lanes on Bloor St removed. Since they have been installed my commute time has doubled and my heart breaks every time I see an emergency vehicle stuck as cars have no where to pull over - I have seen this often! Read more
