If you take the lanes out, I am not going to disappear. I will still be there. It's faster for me to ride my bike to work.
You know who won't be going anywhere fast?
You. I will seize the lane. I will be in front of you. I will stop at every stop. I will ruin your day, every day.

Bike lanes reduce traffic. To eliminate them in Toronto is just another disgrace to one of the few large cities in Canada that is already lagging behind in infrastructure, technology, and sustainability.
It’s also pertinent for me to mention that I do not even live in Toronto.

The portion of the bill that targets bike lanes is EXTREMELY SHORT CITED and NOT BASED ON ANY FACTUAL EVIDENCE that adding them has significantly reduced travel times nor that ripping them out will reduce them. Focus on opening the LRT lines and stay out of municipal politics.

Bike lanes are fundamental for road-user safety and for overall transportation efficiency. Removing them after they have been approved in the wake of extensive consultations and studies will reduce safety; it is also a colossal waste of public money.
Please don't remove bike lanes. We just got a lot of them added and they help reduce traffic by promoting more people to bike. If you remove the bike lanes then they will bike on the road or sidewalk which puts drivers and pedestrians at risk as well as the bikers themselves.

Bike lanes reduce traffic, not increase it. You should focus on making other modes of transportation better. We know this from studies in many cities already, more car infrastructure only brings in more cars. There would only be more cars and more gridlock.

I'm 38. I've been cycling in this city, and to and through downtown since I was 15. The explosion in cyclists the last number of years with the increase in bike lanes has been amazing. The amount of younger people I see starting to use them is amazing.

I strongly disagree with this proposal. If anything, we should be adding more bike lanes. Reducing them will mean that cyclists with ride alongside cars, which doesn't speed up traffic and is dangerous. Also, if you discourage cycling that will mean they need to drive, which will increase traffic.

I am strongly against the removal of bike lanes in Toronto. I live near Bloor West, and the bike lanes have very much improved my enjoyment of this neighborhood. Even if I don't ride a bike, it's much nicer spending time in Bloor West Village now than it was before the bike lanes were installed.

Hi so as someone who uses the Bloor bike lanes daily, among routes, please do not remove them.
The street always had right lane parking, making it the same as it is now. Traffic has always been bad on Bloor.

This bill is an absolute violation of both environmental protections and municipal jurisdiction over their own roads. As a former Ford voter, these actions have successfully convinced me to withdraw my voter support in any upcoming provincial elections.
Bike lanes are important urban infrastructure that are a municipal responsibility. The province should stay out of it and let local cities govern their local streets.

This bill is absolutely unnecessary and a waste of time. removing bike lanes will not save any time at all. All it will put cyclists in harms way and make things even more difficult for drivers.

I work in the west end and live in the east end. I live in the east because I can afford it, I work in the west because the job is what I want to do. I use the bloor bike lane every single day. And even with a bike lane I am nearly doored, ran over, side swiped by red line runners etc.

Trading car lanes for bike lanes is critical for increased cycling usage. Already, bike lanes are an afterthought, being placed on shared roadways with cars increasing risk to cyclists.
