Unfortunately some folks are so excessively habituated to their car that the idea of riding a bike seems dangerous and insane. Taking away cycling lanes certainly makes it more dangerous. Read more

Why are my taxpayer dollars being wasted on ripping up bike lanes in Toronto?? Why is MY money being wasted reopening construction that has kept University, Bloor and Yonge closed and congested for years? Read more

As an Ontarian, I am deeply opposed to Bill 212. In a time of growing climate crisis and economic scarcity, we need to increase our support of climate-friendly and cheaper transportation options such as bicycles. Read more

I live just off Yonge St. The only way in or out of my condo is to use Yonge. Since the bike lanes reduced a lane both ways I deal with the unreasonable traffic on a daily basis. Read more

The bike lanes need to go. University, Bloor, Eglinton west from Avenue Rd Sheppard East from Yonge to Bayview, Willowdale Rd. All major streets. Either have less lanes than before or have had their widths cut back. Read more

I would like to express my profound disagreement with the approach being taken by the Government of Ontario to address gridlock in the province. Transportation is a key issue and I think everyone can agree that more should be done to get people moving and where they need to go. Read more

Protected cycle tracks serve as a critical piece of infrastructure for myself and many others. I for one use our current bike infrastructure in Toronto to support local businesses along with doing daily errands and going to appointments. Read more

Bike lanes that reduce traffic on busy streets are not useful. While I agree with the concept of bike lanes in general, their placement should be on secondary and tertiary streets where they do not affect the flow of traffic. Read more

The bike lanes on Bloor Street West have created chaos and u necessary gridlock and delays. All Summer we have driven down the road and maybe have seen one ir two cyclists as buses and cars stand in traffic jam. The BIKE LANES are an eyesore and a nuisance!!! Read more

I use the Bloor bike lanes every single day. Never have I lived in a place where biking has felt safer, in relativeness to other Canadian cities of course. Removing the lanes will only cause cyclists to occupy more of the road. This will add more to gridlock. Read more

Is the Government of Ontario now the Government of Toronto? Why is this government directing millions of dollars to rip out already established infrastructure in Toronto when that money could be used to improve infrastructure elsewhere in the province? What a waste! Read more

Bike lanes are extremely important in reducing traffic and keeping cyclists safe on the roads. Please keep our bike lanes. It makes zero sense to get rid of them this will add an unnecessary inconvenience to many. Thank you.

Getting people on bikes when we have such harsh winters is nuts. The climate does not support this. I personally know not one person who has hopped on a bike as an alternate mode of transportation. We are not the Netherlands where the climate is moderate. Read more

Bike lanes are necessary for the evolution of our city, safety of our neighbour's, friends, and family. As more condos come up, car traffic will increase substantially. Having remove bike lanes does not solve the problem with population and transit.
