A common talking point in the debate around traffic in the GTA is that of induced demand: the fact that creating additional lanes for vehicles actually generates more demand, and does not reduce traffic. Read more

Doug Ford’s plan to remove bike lanes from major city streets is not only reckless policy—it’s a dangerous and deliberate power grab that prioritizes short-term political gain over the well-being of millions of Torontonians. Read more

Removing bike lanes is fiscally irresponsible, short-sighted, and dangerous. To truly relieve road congestion we need more options for people to get around safely, not less. Focus on ideas to get more people out of their cars and off the roads. Better transit, more options, and safer bike lanes.

1/ Fully support the removal of some bike lanes on major roads like Bloor, Danforth, University, Yonge, etc. Toronto is made up of small neighborhoods with mostly small family run businesses. Change access to these communities and those businesses will close. Read more

Ford, I am speaking to you, and all those who support your proposed plans, directly. I am demanding your most undivided attention because it appears you are not listening to your constituents as a whole. Read more

One day riding my bike home from work following the rules of the road and using my arm signals when turning, a man in a car sped up past me on my right when I was in left turning lane and yelled at me to get off the f***ing road. Read more

This bill feels like a waste of time and taxpayer money to review and remove existing bike lanes, and a further waste of time and money to require provincial approval to make new bike lanes. Read more

Not only does the decision to remove bike lanes, but also prevent/strict their building in cities like Toronto is a terrible policy decision. Bike lanes not only increase safety for non-car travelers, but help alleviate traffic as well. Read more

As a Toronto resident, this is absolutely unwelcome. This will certainly affect my quality of life negatively. And the government needs to understand one thing: you’re getting rid of bike lanes, not bikes. Bikes are here to stay. All you’re achieving is putting people’s lives in danger.

The removal of bike lanes is completely and utterly a step backwards for Ontario's urban centres. Bike lanes are a necessary part of our dense communities and cities, specifically in downtown Toronto. Read more

I believe getting rid of bike lanes is a terrible idea and goes in the wrong direction, we need to continue diversifying our methods of safe and accessible transportation and move away from being a province so reliant on automobiles.
