As a driver, cyclist, pedestrian and taxpayer in this city I want to register my opinion that this bill is wrongheaded. It puts cars before people. Torontonians need safe spaces to move around. Our sidewalks and bike lanes are. woefully inadequate.

I disageee that a province should have the ability to override municipal policy making, especially in the case of bike lanes. I can understand the necessity to move quickly, in the context of building highways, but bike lanes within dense urban cities are a proven strategy to alleviate congestion.

This Act aims to reduce gridlock, but it proposes methods that could harm public health and safety, limit mobility and access to Ontario communities, undermine environmental protection, and worsen the ongoing climate crisis.

The proposed bill will damage the urban fabric and increase congestion in our busiest cities. At a time when sustainability mobility choices are becoming more important, we need to support infrastructure that supports these choices choice.

This proposal will not reduce gridlock. It will make the roads less safe for bikers, forcing more people to take cars everywhere due to the complete lack of viable transit options in the city of Toronto, thus introducing more gridlock in the city.

Decisions about adding bike lanes in a community shouldn’t be made at the provincial level; it’s too broad a scope to understand the unique needs of each municipality.

I have strong concerns about the 413 construction - as it's introducing a major highway infrastructure project across a large rural, and nature-protected area.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed bill to remove certain bike lanes in Toronto. As an avid cyclist, taxpayer, and concerned citizen, I want to emphasize that bikes are not the cause of traffic congestion; rather, they offer a sustainable solution to it.

The added change to the bill around mandated bike lane removals is highly concerning - it seems to contradict what was previously laid out as an objective review process - and instead seem to be predetermining major infrastructure changes without any consultation with residents or municipalities.

This is a moronic distraction. The Ford government should stay in their own lane and not meddle in affairs best dealt with by municipalities.

I am strongly opposed to this proposal. As a cyclist who rides on a daily basis, I feel like this proposal is a direct attack on me and my safety. The government claims that bike lanes the cause of gridlock, and removing them will 'get driver where they need to go faster'.

The Ontario Provincial Government's proposal to require municipalities to get provincial approval for bike lanes that remove a traffic lane is misguided and directly against public interest.

Agree with the proposed legislation. Cyclist safety would be enhanced if bike lanes were not in major transit arteries but instead in residential or low traffic areas. Traffic flow would be improved without bike lanes in major transit corridors.

As a resident of the city of toronto, i am appalled with this plan. it is an absolute waste of taxpayer money, and will do nothing to improve gridlock.

You want to remove judicial process - the one thing that is protecting property owners' interests when a property is being expropriated? This is not fair and no, I do not support this. I'll be spreading the word widely.
I have never ready anything more ridiculous and short sited than this bill. Bike lanes save lives. They encourage more people to bike thereby reducing traffic. They also help traffic move more slowly by limiting interactions between cyclists and cars.
