I am a 71 year old woman who stays fit by getting around downtown Toronto on my bike. I've lived in downtown Toronto for more than 50 years and during that time Toronto changed from a city I felt I could bike through safely to one that felt life-threatening on a bike.

"Modern Transportation – Prohibiting Vehicle Lane Reduction for New Bicycle Lanes"
Please don't. This is a terrible idea. Let cities do what works for them, they elect a city council for this sort of stuff.

Asking the Ford government to act according to evidence and common sense, rather than to score political points is becoming tiresome.
The evidence is clear:
- bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion Poor road design and a lack of robust transit does.

Bike lanes make roads safer for cyclists a well as for pedestrians, disabled, and children who otherwise may be required to share the sidewalk with e bikes, scooters and bikes.
I am opposed to Schedule 5 of Bill 60. The intent is to keep people and goods moving by creating more capacity on roads for vehicles. But what do you think bikes carry? Bikes carry people and goods with a capacity about 20 times what a car lane would provide.

Many elements of Bill 60 are disastrous and represent more overreach by the provincial government.
It diminishes local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.

Dear Minister Flack,
Thank you for your commitment to: Moving people and goods faster by reducing gridlock and accelerating transit delivery. I am glad that the government of Ontario recognizes that we have an issue with traffic.

"The amendments would also create regulation-making authorities to allow the Minister to prescribe additional prohibited activities and to provide exemptions from the prohibition."

So, here we go again. Unfortunately, the courts did not stop the Province from blocking new bike lanes. And now it is trying to do exactly that with Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act. Bill 60 would take power away from people and their communities and give it to cars.
STOP BILL 60

I do not support this proposal for the following reasons:
- It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.

We need to increase cycling infrastructure and public transit capacity to reduce congestion and provide safe and attractive options to people to travel without a car. There is simply not enough space in the city for cars to be prioritized over other types of transit.

It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s ownexperts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.

To make Ontario’s roads safer and more reliability we need an active and public transportation. These modes mores of transportation are much more space efficient the single occupancy vehicles and they are much safer. To promote these methods the province needs more bike and bus lanes.

I am incredibly disappointed to see the Ontario government continue to get in the way of new bike lane construction. Protected bike lanes make roads safer for everyone, including car drivers.

I'm a cyclist and a driver -- and I unequivocally oppose this proposal. Having a dedicated, protected bike lane means I can predict where cyclists will be when I'm driving, and avoid hitting them or having to slam on my breaks at the last minute.

Safe bike infrastructure is what the city needs. You can’t solve gridlock with more lanes of traffic. There will never be enough space for everyone to drive a car in the city. Improve transit and bike infrastructure.
