This is possibly the stupidest thing that the provincial government has ever pursued. This is also the stupidest thing the provincial government has ever prioritized. Please just finish the Eglinton Crosstown LRT instead.
Bicycle lanes keep traffic moving already. I cycle year-round even in the winter and protected lanes on major arterial streets are what keep me safe. A more effective solution would be removing street parking on those streets and giving those lanes back to traffic.

Hi,
I am a proponent of bicycle infrastructure including safe bike lanes. I would vote for parties/candidates who advocate for bicycle infrastructure.

The proposal is a cruel joke designed to pander, and it will do nothing to ease congestion. I cycle every day and this will put my life at greater risk so that the PCPO can score some political points. Please stop.
Can this government focus on improving anything that will marginally improve the life of Ontarians rather than focusing on stupid wedge issues like bike lanes? Please for just one minute act as serious as the position you are all in should demand.

This proposed provincial legislation is entirely overstepping jurisdiction and will negatively impact communities in Ontario. There are studies from around the world showing that bike lanes do not exacerbate congestion but rather ease it while also reducing emissions.

My family and I often use bikes to get around and feel much safer on protected lanes. The constant news of cyclist deaths by motorists is truly terrifying, and I would like to see a government take these seriously.

If we want to reduce congestion in urban areas, we have to provide alternatives to driving because we simply can't fit everyone's car into the limited physical space available.

The proposal to remove or restrict bikelanes is foolish for a number of reasons, all backed by years of research data. I will list the reasons I vehemently oppose the province meddling in municipal affairs.

I'm a taxpayer and resident of Toronto. I use walking and cycling as my primary modes of transportation, with ride-share and car rentals on occasion. I am strongly against the removal of any bike lanes.

I am all in favour of cautious planning when it comes to sharing roads. There is a much bigger problem than the loss of driving lanes to make way for bike lanes though, and this proposal will not address that.

Bike lanes should be a municipal matter, not provincial. It's clear that many on the provincial/suburban level despise Toronto, and want to punish us with absolute nonsense.

Municipalities need to be able to make decisions for themselves. With the GTA exploding in population, ripping out or blocking the construction of bike lanes will only remove options for commuters, forcing more into cars and worsening gridlock.

As a small-government conservative, I strongly oppose this bill because it represents unnecessary provincial overreach into municipal affairs and undermines local autonomy.

This is anti-democratic. Bike lanes are local neighbourhood/municipal decisions and neighbourhoods vote for their City Councillor and Mayor to enact these decisions based on their priorities.

This legislation prioritizes the convenience of a few over the health, safety, and economic development of my community.
The Government's proposed plan will cost money and create red tape. It will inevitably result in injuries and deaths that would be entirely preventable.

Bike lanes contribute to road safety and save lives.
They also lead to less traffic and better commutes, as well as a healthier population.
You should be encouraging the construction and approval of as many bike lanes as possible.
Cars are traffic. Sprawl creates traffic.
