I strongly oppose this bill as a 10 year resident of Toronto. Fundamentally increasing provincial powers and reducing the ability for municipalities to oppose I believe is a reductive way to deliver needs to the communities that comprise this province.

Studies from all over the world have proven that bike lanes reduce congestion. The ministry has to stop pretending that bicycles are only used for leisure. They are used to commute to work, run errands, deliver food. Read more

Bill 60: - strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents. - will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s own experts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock. Read more

It will make streets less safe, since protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths. It removes cities’ ability to make locally informed decisions. It also undermines climate and public health goals by reinforcing car-dependent street design. Read more

I whole heartily disagree with this bill. The province should not be choke holding the cities who know what is the best for their citizens. The province should focus on education, healthcare, improving provincial trade, etc,. Not trying to pick fights with Toronto. Read more

My husband and I ride on Toronto city bike lanes every day. It is our primary mode of transportation. In a busy city with a lot of traffic, it is the bike lanes that make our commute possible. Recently, our children have started riding their bikes to school. Read more

Cars are NOT the future. Please STOP interfering in City matters by pushing for more space for cars in Toronto and focus on what matters, such as improving the public transport system. And accessibility of public transport: Read more

In a time of worsening climate change, it feels ridiculous to be reducing our ability to install safe commuting pathways for alternatives to car travel. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 60 as a short-sighted and dangerous piece of legislation that overrides local democracy and evidence-based planning. Read more

This proposal takes away the power of local municipalities to make decisions about what is best for their city, and, it also falsely assumes that bike lanes cause gridlock. Read more

This is really unnecessary. Leave these decisions to municipalities themselves as they are very local-specific decisions. Please focus on reducing highway congestion instead.

This is an absurd overreach by the Provincial Government into decisions that must lie with local governments. Local governments are best positioned to make these decisions. Read more

I do not believe bike lanes are the cause of traffic. The real problem is that people do not have many options besides driving. When safe bike lanes are available, people use them. I am one of those people. When bike lanes were added in my neighbourhood, I felt safe enough to try biking instead. Read more
