I strongly oppose removing bike lanes in Toronto and Ontario. Toronto needs more bike lanes, not fewer, if it wants to retain its status as a world-class city. The last time I was on Bloor, I saw countless people of all ages and backgrounds using the bike lanes.

Removing bike lanes is not a good idea. The only way to reduce automotive traffic is by having fewer cars on the road. You get fewer cars on the road by offering alternatives ... Such as cycling. Removing existing bike lanes is not a good use of taxpayer money.
As a both a driver and a cyclist, I strongly oppose the removal of separated bike lanes from our roads in Toronto. These lanes are not just a convenience—they are a critical safety measure for cyclists and drivers alike.

I agree that bike lanes can be provided where feasible. I vehemently disagree with the implementation in Toronto. Whoever determined and agreed to remove a traffic lane to implement bicycle lanes has ignored facts of existence.

It is not only important that we build bike infrastructure, but that we discourage vehicle use wherever we can. Cyclists are environmental heroes.

I live on Avenue road between Yorkville and Davenport. The bike lanes have created a grave danger. Heading south(home) at Davenport there is only 1 viable lane in the middle. And it then weaves to the right where many trucks cars double park requiring one to weave left.

Hey so respectfully, keep your hand off our bike lines. We love them, I want more of them. They motive me and my family to go outside. My mental feels so much better everytime I get to go outside and enjoy the paths. I love enjoying the outdoors. I can bike to the store, work to catch a show.

I believe bike lanes make a lot of sense in the downtown area where there is a younger demographic who ride their bikes to get around the downtown area.

As someone who drives in downtown Toronto often, this will not help traffic at all. Traffic was just as bad before bike lanes.
This does not sound like a wise use of money, but our government has yet to prove it can spend money wisely.
I am deeply disappointed in the lack of planning and foresight, and for the city’s spineless submission to a senseless group of people who care less about cooperation and creative visioning for green cities than we imagined. Bike lines revolutionize cities.

Removing bike lanes makes no sense. Bike lanes have an overwhelming positive impact and the real reason people don't like them is when drivers sit in traffic they see something to get angry at. Forcing bikes into the car lane will only make cars go slower.

As a bicyclist and as a motorist I think that this legislation is excellent. It is time to return sanity to city planning. The way things stand now with extra wide bike lanes that eliminate care lanes all demographics, bicyclists, motorists and pedestrians are losers.

As a Resident of Toronto, as well as a cyclist, transit user, and a driver, I am strongly against the proposal to remove bike lanes from the city and insert the provincial government into city planning matters.

I am 100% in favour of the Bill. I live on a street just off of Yonge Street. It takes us an undue amount of time to merge onto Yonge Street throughout much of the day due to gridlock. Cars block the intersection and it’s dangerous for pedestrians to cross Yonge as a result.

I would also like to highlight the need to remove new street parking that was established when lanes were removed and bike lanes created particularly on Bloor St and Yonge St.
