I support this bill wholeheartedly, in particular, removing the bicycle lanes on Bloor Street, near where I live. I have rarely seen any cyclists using the lanes on Bloor Street. There is simply no demand or need for them--and this during the warmer months. Read more

I am extremely concerned that the premier seems to be acting out of animosity toward people who ride bicycles, when meanwhile bicycle-riding reduces congestion and air pollution. Read more

I oppose the Ontario government's proposal to rip out existing bicycle lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue in Toronto as well as put in place significant obstacles to the construction of new bicycle facilities where a lane of traffic is to be removed. Read more

Please protect bike lanes, as they reduce gridlock by existing! Having less cars on the road by providing alternative means of transportation is the best way to reduce gridlock. Read more

I live in a condo on Bloor St and find it dangerous to enter and exit our driveway. I have to look for cyclists, pedestrians on the sidewalk and hold up the one lane of traffic to do this. Read more

Bike lanes are extremely helpful for those of our community who bike whether it’s on a regular basis or for those who are visiting Toronto. Bike lanes make biking safe for people of all ages and to remove bike lanes to avoid grid lock is a temporary band aid for a larger issue. Read more

My experience Sunday November 10. I drove along Bloor from High Park to Islington around 12:30PM. and returned around 7:15PM. It was light rain both times. Subway was closed, busses on Bloor. Traffic was backed up eastbound from Jane to Aberfoyle. Sitting idling. On my way back I was caught in it. Read more

I support the framework that would enable provincial approval for new bike lanes on municipal roads requiring the removal of a traffic lane and for existing bike lanes where a traffic lane was removed. Read more

I am fully supporting of having the province ensure that any proposed bike lanes have a thorough assessment before being implemented as the recent bike lanes (Yonge St, Bloor St) seemed to have been pushed through without the city doing due diligence on impact to traffic or emergency vehicles.

I’m happy to see the Ontario government forging ahead with this. There has been such terrible consultation on the part of the city with the public, and a complete disregard to what their citizens/taxpayers actually want. Read more

This won’t reduce gridlock. This will just get the thousands of daily cyclists to start driving and that will exacerbate the problem. Either that, or you put more people at higher risk. Read more

This is an absolutely ridiculous move by the provincial government that does not take into account the countless lives lost prior to the introduction of bike lanes along Bloor. Read more
