I voted for Ford in the last election as I believed he was a candidate of common sense. There is no common sense to rip out bikes lanes in Toronto - data will show that it will only increase congestion.

Thanks for doing this (Bill 212- Ruducing Gridlock) as the increased number of bike lanes in Toronto has made driving a nightmare in downtown where I live.
I would love to see the following implemented:

This is an absolutely backwards step in terms of transportation policy. Bike lanes are an essential form of transportation infrastructure which actually helps to decrease vehicular traffic. Removing bike lanes will have the opposite effect of the government’s stated desire to reduce congestion.

I do not support this ridiculous bill. It is important to have bike lanes for the safety of cyclists. Planning of bike lanes should be left to the cities. Doug Ford needs to stop making decisions on a whim that are detrimental to Ontarians.

We need affordable, green, safe solutions to remove gridlock. That's bike lanes. Do not sell out downtown for cheap votes in the GTA. Respect the people that live by this infrastructure and use it.

This is an appalling and utterly senseless motion. There's no credible evidence to indicate that bike lanes add to downtown congestion, and removing them only makes it less safe for cyclists.

I bike everyday. I’ve lived in Toronto for almost 10 years and have seen increase in bikes. Could the city provide a report on this, and use that data to convert how many cars would that add to the road, thus causing more traffic.
As some who lives and work in downtown Toronto, and who commutes via cycling, I find it very disturbing that the provincial government is wasting taxpayer's time and money to rip up bike lanes that have just been recently installed.

Please remove bike lanes on major streets. I have been living downtown for 44 years, and biking the last 20 years. People will bike regardless of bike lanes, I actually find raised bike lanes more dangerous with the risk of hitting them on the bike cars are easy to navigate around.

1) waste of tax dollars. Especially as they will be ripping out existing built bike lanes
2) you're shoving cyclists into live traffic lanes, I'd much rather they be contained to bike lanes than spinning between cars
Bike lanes are hugely important to reduce gridlock, and they create a viable way to quickly travel through the city. I’m proud to live in a city that prioritizes all types of commuters - not only people who commute by car.
Bike lanes are important for public safety, to encourage active transportation, to address climate goals and to make more community centric neighbourhoods. Bike lanes also reduce congestion since each person uses less space.

Hard not to use offensive language but this is unreal - like comically unbelievable.
1. Waste of tax dollars
2. Why don’t you take the money and build more subways that work?
3. Divert efforts to the Crosstown completion…

Bike lanes are a vital component of Toronto's transportation infrastructure, offering numerous benefits that enhance the city's sustainability, livability, and economic vitality. Removing these lanes would be a step backward, while expanding them is crucial for progress.

I am beyond disappointed at the continuous waste of provincial taxpayer money and disregard for the quality of life for citizens of this province.

Bike lanes save lives. Bike lanes save time and reduce traffic by allocating a dedicated space for cyclists. I feel safe biking around Toronto thanks to the bikelanes. I have been biking more and driving less and this has improved my health, my wallet and my ecological footprint.

As a transportation engineering, worked in multiple world class cities in the world , remove Bike lanes will ultimately increase car dependency and worsen traffic.
Adding any new road capacity , including highway , you will induce more car demand and ultimately worsening traffic
This is a completely unnecessary Bill. No research has been provided to show that bike lanes are contributing to traffic or gridlock. Decisions on bike lane designs and implementation should be left to municipalities and local planning departments.

I am very against the proposal to remove bike lanes.
Data suggests the impact of removing bike lanes will be an increase in road deaths and injury from cyclists while having limited impact on improved driving time. I suspect you are aware of this, but think it will be politically useful.
