As an Ontarian taxpayer and a Torontonian biker 12 months a year, I really invite the government to not touch current bike lanes in the city. They make my daily commute safer: when I am not on a bike lane, I am constantly fearing for my life. I ask that we consider safety for everyone on the road. Read more

This effort by the province to take over what should be a municipal process is clearly a political stunt at best and a mean-spirited bullying act by the Premier. Read more

I am a middle aged professional that drives, bikes, transits, and walks within the city. I am having difficultly seeing this proposal as anything but political. It is eating up precious time and money to propose this and to enact the removal of lanes and prohibit the creation of more. Read more

I'd like to add my voice to what is hopefully a widespread call for the Government of Ontario to reconsider this ill-conceived plan that is 1) inconsistent with existing research on how best to manage traffic flow and ease congestion, 2) a needless, wasteful, and meddlesome use of public funds, and Read more

This is a municipal item! Mind your own business! Yes to bike lanes! You are pro-car, pro-sprawl! Look at all other world-class cities. Cities are adding bike lanes, not removing them. Get rid of cars!

I ride my bike on university a lot. It’s the fastest way to move around downtown these days since streetcars are forced to share lanes with cars. Eaton Centre to city place is a 10 minute travel on a city ebike. Dufferin mall to Bloor Yonge is a 10 minute bike ride. Read more

If this government actually followed scientific data about what reduces traffic congestion it's providing people with better alternative means to driving. More roads = more cars = more traffic. Read more

There is no provincial interest in micro managing local roads with another layer of bureaucratic approvals. Let the elected officials of municipalities do what they believe is best. Read more

City Of Toronto’s implementation of bike lanes are evidence-based. They depend on traffic analysis and proven benefits on travel behaviour and transportation equity. Ask any expert and they will say we need bike lanes to reduce congestion. More people in cars means more traffic. It’s that easy. Read more

My husband and my daughter use their bike as transportation to and from work. I also use my bike as a form of transportation. We can’t afford to have a car for each family member and transit near us is non-existent. Bike lanes keep my family safe during their commute. Read more

What a ridiculous piece of proposed legislation. Quit with your populist pandering and deal with real issue of congestion which is too many vehicles on the roadways. Read more

Setting aside that this proposed bill is flawed, ideological, divisive and invasive into the rights of municipalities, the biggest issue is how premature it is. Read more

The only way to reduce traffic is to reduce the number of cars on the road, full stop. This policy will backfire and is part of a concerning anti-rational trend that our current provincial government is following.

The only way to reduce traffic is to reduce the number of cars on the road. The best way to do this is to get single-occupancy drivers to use other forms of transportation. For the vast majority of these people, cycling is their best option. Read more

I am a motorist in Toronto. I drive on Bloor, Eglinton, Davenport, St Clair, etc on a very regular basis - daily or weekly. I fully support bike lanes on ALL major roads. I do not ride a bike. But I know that safe infrastructure gets cars off the road, and is better for commuting as a whole. Read more
