Years ago we had one lane roads only, and traffic was controlled. As we opened more and more roads people's response was to buy a 2nd or 3rd vehicle, just because it was faster to drive, no matter the financial cost. Read more

This Act is in direct contrast to proven best practices in the field of urban studies. I have been a volunteer cycling advocate for twenty years and keep up to date on all relevant research. The only way to reduce gridlock is to reduce the number of people driving. Read more

The lack of respect for cyclists by many vehicle drivers will only be accentuated by the removal of bike lanes. Cyclists are safe in bike lanes, for the most part. Read more

The Bloor bike lanes from Islington to Bloor West Village SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY. They are NOT used all winter long, they are clogging the east/west traffic, and businesses in the area are suffering from this. Read more

Municipalities generally have the most direct knowledge of local transportation needs and community priorities. This proposal could add layers of bureaucracy that may hinder timely implementation of bicycle infrastructure. Read more

I am shocked by this proposed legislation. This is over-reach by the Provincial government. Decisions on bicycle lanes are part of municipal planning frameworks. There is no reason for the Provincial government to be involved or over-ride these decisions. Read more

Removing bike lanes that already are in place is incredibly regressive and a waste of tax dollars. This Bill ignores the fact that many people do not own cars and instead use bicycles to commute or run errands. Bike lanes provide safety for cyclists. Read more

This Bill is extremely flawed, blatantly misleading in its supposed desired outcome and actively dangerous to the environment & citizens of this province. Schedule 1 & 2 allows for the seizure of personal property with a lack of due process, this violates our charter of rights and freedoms. Read more

The Ontario government should not be able to remove or impact bike lanes within the city of Toronto. City planning should be governed municipally and not used as a pawn for provincial politics. Read more

I am against this bill. Not only is this exceeding provincial jurisdiction, but we should be expanding bike lanes in Toronto, not reducing them from our most biked roads. I use Bloor and university to bike almost every day. The removal of these bike lanes would be devastating. Read more

It's a desgrace that our premier is selling out our city. Toronto used to be a forward thinking, progressive city. Removing bike lane will force the less confident cyclist off their bikes and in to cars. Read more

This is dumb. Plain and simple. Keep the bike lanes. Promote healthy and active lifestyles. More cars aren’t the answer. The roads are unsafe and scary for cyclists. Bike lanes provide safe spaces for cyclists, commuters and kids biking. Read more
