Removing bicycle lanes is one of the most ineffective things you could possibly do in an attempt to reduce gridlock. How many real bicycle lanes are there even for you to remove.

Removing the newly installed bike lanes on major routes like Bloor is the kind of short-term thinking that has caused this issue to begin with.

Hi there,
I’m a resident of Toronto West - High Park/Parkdale Area.
When I moved here 2.5 years ago, I was excited to live close to downtown. It would make it easier to commute and get downtown for events and work.

Let municipalities make decisions that work for their citizens and respect transportation choices for everyone, not just car owners. This proposed legislation is severe overreach. This legislation is divisive and an attack on local democracy.
Team, this decision is short sighted because you have completely disregarded people like me who cannot afford vehicles, who depend on a free mode of transport like a bike to get around.

This is an outrageous overreach for a provincial government. Let cities and municipalities manage their infrastructure. Doug Ford’s weird vendetta against bike lanes is inappropriate and petty.

Bike lanes have made driving easier and safer in Kingston. The space would not decrease traffic. Let the municipalities decide locally, this is not within the provincial scope.

The background of the proposal states that the government of Ontario "recognizes the need to build priority highways faster as our province grows in order to get people and goods out of gridlock and save drivers and businesses time and money".

This is a waste of tax payer money. Bike lanes reduce traffic and encourage people to consider alternate methods of transportation. Toronto's traffic issue will be made worse by this.
Despicable that while I suffer through our health care system. The premiere is more concerned about 3 bike lanes in Toronto. Seems Ontario conservatives would rather play Mayor than represent me.
Aside from the wealth of research that indicates that car traffic is the least-efficient way to move people and that providing other effective transportation options (like bike lanes) generally reduces traffic congestion rather than increasing it, this interference of the provincial government in mu
