This lacks logic. Separate bike lanes reduce traffic congestion, decrease injuries, promote physical activity… we have a climate crisis and an unsustainable health care system. We have a crisis in our education system. Take care of the real issues, first.

This proposed makes no sense. How can the provincial government understand the specific traffic requirements of a municipality? This proposal is clearly an attempt by Ford to appeal to his base (remember ‘buck a beer’). Read more

One would think that building more roads with more lanes for cars would reduce congestion, but research shows that's not the case, thanks to something called induced demand. Read more

I am confused about how removing bike lanes in a city like Toronto will help improve the flow of traffic. As a driver in Toronto (I commute a total of 85 minutes a day), I know that I have to drive much SLOWER when there is a bike in the lane in front of me and not in a dedicated bike lane. Read more

It’s disheartening to see proposals for bike lane removals in Toronto. Bike lanes are essential for promoting sustainable transportation, improving safety for cyclists, and reducing congestion. Read more

Please reconsider this bill. I often bike throughout the city and this would make bike travel for so many citizens so much worse. Why remove bike lanes that are already there?

I'm a grade 10 student and I am extremely concerned about this proposed legislation. Because I cannot currently drive, I rely heavily on my parents for transportation. Read more

I understand that Ontario government is concerned about cities building any bike lanes that would “reduce the number of marked lanes available for travel by motor vehicle traffic.” Cyclists are taxpayers as well as car drivers. Read more

The provincial government would be massively overstepping by inserting themselves in this truly municipal matter. It adds red tape and will bottleneck municipal infrastructure projects across the entire province. Read more

The proposal is nonsensical. This is an extreme overreach by the province. Separated and protected bike lanes are a safe, environmentally friendly, and practical solution to gridlock in the city. Surely, as a driver, bicycles are annoying, and being vigilant on the road is bothersome. Read more

This is ridiculous and purely populist decision to micro manage municipal realms. To decide what’s best for each city, each neighborhood on a provincial level sounds like they don’t have better things to do. Read more

Disappointed at these proposed changes without any evidence to support them. Want to reduce gridlock? Reduce the number of cars on the road. It’s the only way. Providing safe cycling infrastructure is one option to reduce vehicles on the road.

I'm not a cyclist. I'd prefer if my provincial government didn't waste time injecting itself into municipal matters, especially on something so trivial like traffic on local roads. Let our elected council down the job we elected them to do. Read more

Research shows that limiting and reducing safe bike lanes will increase congestion and traffic, NOT decrease congestion. We should be investing in safe and healthy modes of transportation - improving public transit and making it easier and safer for people to move around a crowded and growing city. Read more
