The problem is too many cars. Bike lanes reduce congestion by providing an alternative to driving your car. If you want to reduce congestion then implement road pricing. It will prevent needless single occupancy car trips and promote car pooling. Read more

I am disturbed by the ministry's lack of consideration of available data from other jurisdictions that clearly show how bike lanes reduce traffic congestion by encouraging people to bike instead of drive. Read more

I live in Bloor West between Old Mill and Jane. The bike lanes in my area serve a subset of commuters that can be also served by the subway/buses. I am unable to use subway/buses for my commute as I often have to travel outside of the city for work due to my company's return to office mandate. Read more

Support your review of Toronto bike lanes. Torontonians are realizing that bike lanes, street patios and the whole "Complete Street" initiative is creating massive congestion in this City. We are now the third most congested City in the world, attracting negative comments from visitors. Read more

As a Toronto residents I am extremely opposed to the removal of existing bike lanes. These lanes were installed by our democratically elected municipal government using tax payer dollars, and their removal would be a huge waste of resources and a major overstep by the provincial government.

Building more highways and expanding roads will promote car and toronto being a car transit for the suburbs. This is outdated urban planning from the 50s which does not scale. We cant all drive and i dont know anyone that actually enjoys living on the side of a busy road. Read more

I feel angered and frustrated that the only thing this government can do to solve the problem of too many cars, too little space is to try to add more cars. Removing bike lanes and preventing them is not the answer. Where is the investment in improving public transit? Read more

The use of bikes serves to reduce my commute and reduce traffic on the road. Not only will this limit citizens options, it will also drive an increase in traffic, greenhouse gas emissions and put further limits on available parking. Read more

Abandons a core principle of subsidiarity, centralizing what should be a municipal issue, and uses that overreach of power to push through a policy that has no evidence to support its claims. Bike lane infrastructure just…does not cause gridlock. Inadequate alternatives forms of transport does. Read more

While I can see the appeal of moving cars faster, I do not believe it should be at the cost of bike lanes. Ontario already struggles with public transit, and blotting out bike lanes with more cars I feel goes against the progress that has been made. Read more

The bike lanes need to stay. They are proactive measures for a future with fewer cars in and out of the downturn core, less pollution, and safer cyclists. It's also absurd to spend money on removing them after the fact. Read more

I strongly disagree with the plan to limit and remove bike lanes on streets throughout the province. This is idea is beyond harmful to the communities and their residents, I say this as someone who lives and drives on Bloor St W. Read more

This is a ridiculous idea. Please keep bike lanes separate. My kids ride bikes, as do I. Bike lanes provide safety. If you want to take care of traffic congestion, improve public transportation.

Hi, I'm a south Oakville resident, and despite being a 2-car family, I am completely opposed to this. Municipalities and countries worldwide have realized that the only way to improve traffic flow is to provide viable alternatives. One of those alternatives is safe and separated bike lanes.
