I cycle and drive to work and this idea that bikes lanes are costing driver 4-5 minutes is ridiculous. Stop distracting the public with lies, construction in this city by developers who take over lanes cost more time.

I don't understand why the province needs to be involved in this. Is there any other reason other than spite? Let municipalities deal with their own population, jeez.
This is a wild overreach by the provincial government into municipal affairs. It’s a blatant attempt to use ignorant culture war nonsense to distract voters from the fraud and irresponsible planning being forced through with new freeway development.

The province has no business interfering in municipal urban planning. Regardless of how anyone feels about bike lanes, this bill is a gross overstepping of jurisdiction that sets a dangerous precedent.

I live and use the roads in question in regards to bike lane removal. Sometimes I ride and sometimes I drive. When I drive I’m part of the problem and when I ride a m part of the solution.

I firmly oppose removing bike lanes and reducing future bike lanes. You are taking Ontario backwards into an era that no longer exists. Cars are not a practical solution for the amount of people in the GTA, and we MUST encourage other modes of transportation.

I think this proposal should not be approved. Bike lanes are very important as it assist me to reach my work place more effectively and timely. I feel more safe if there are more dedicated bike lanes in the city and connect to all major intersections.
Tearing up bike lanes is a gigantic waste of money that will only make traffic worse. Driving on Bloor is way better with the bike lanes because things are much more predictable and orderly.
Toronto has some of the worst traffic congestion in North America. The solution is not to encourage more cars. The answer is providing another means of transit - in this case bikes.

Please hire whomever to rip out the ridiculous Bloor, Yonge, and University bike lanes asap and either bill the city or withold tran'sfer payments to cover the cost.
I do not support this bill.
Transportation by various modes is good for communities, the more people and goods that can get places in a timely manner is better for the operation of a community - that includes walking, biking, public transit and motor vehicles.

This bill isn’t just about removing bike lanes (or approving new ones). It would also allow for the building of Highway 413 without considering the environmental impacts first.
Highway 413 and bike lanes are unrelated. They should be addressed in different bills.
I feel strongly that municipalities should be able to decide and manage their own bike lanes, and I feel strongly about the positive benefit that bike lanes have.

As an avid biker (commute to work on bike), I am opposed to the bike lanes on Bloor. The demographics of Etobicoke consists of families - the logistics of biking with young children to school, grocery shopping, sports is impossible. How will I get my three children to hockey on bike?

History will not look kindly upon this bill. The proponents of it are shortsighted, self-serving and cruel. They are also dishonestEven taxi companies acknowledge that bicycles are not the cause of traffic.

Bike lanes are essential to a healthy safe city and the province should not be advocating for more car traffic in main arteries of the downtown core. These areas are so dense already that they should be made more bike and pedestrian friendly, connected to public transit as well. Not cars.

I am a daily bike commuter in the GTA. The designated bike lane on Bloor has allowed me to traverse the city safely and speedily, losing it would be a great loss.
