Health care and education are my top two priorities. Hospitals and schools are struggling to staff up because they don’t have the funds to meet demand.

Hello,
As a downtown Toronto resident, driver, motorcyclist, and bicyclist I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed bill (ERO 019-9265) that aims to diminish the cities control over bike lanes in Toronto.

Taking away homeowners rights to build highways, etc faster is horrible. If someone owns a home they should be able to say yes or no to keep it even if the government wants to buy it to build.

I have been excited for years to see the growing network of bike lanes, and even happier as they were made safer by physical barriers. Ten years ago I visited Berlin where everyone rides bikes.

this move is not backed by facts. it is not supported by the people who live in the area. it is not forward thinking.
it is self-serving. it is a huge waste of money. it is putting people in danger.
makes me deeply ashamed to be a conservative.
Similarly to probably the hundreds of comments received already, this immediately seems like such a waste of already in-progress and recent developments of bike lanes in and around the city of Toronto.

Removing and reducing bike lanes is reflective of a mindset that is extremely backward and not open to the new way of approaching and solving problems.

As a physician who works in the emergency room, this idea is unconscionable. We will have many more injuries and deaths as a result. Additionally, myself and many other physicians, nurses, and patients use this bike lane to commute to the hospitals.

Do not remove any bicycle lanes from the city of Toronto.
Bicycle lanes are reducing congestion in the city and improving the safety of vulnerable road users.
This has been proven time and time again and the data supports this.

This effort to destroy bike lanes which the taxpayers have already paid for is short-sighted. Traffic congestion in Toronto is terrible due to our transit failing to keep up with demand, construction and a multitude of other factors. Bike lanes seem to have no impact at all on traffic.

Highway 413 is not needed. The Ontario Government needs to either buy back Highway 407 to make it free to use, or subsidize the road tolls for trucks. Transport trucks will thereby remove themselves from Highway 401, making that highway significantly less congested for cars.

Bike lanes offer numerous benefits, including promoting healthier lifestyles and reducing healthcare costs by encouraging physical activity. They boost local economies as cyclists shop more frequently at local businesses.

This doesn’t resolve congestion issues and just endangers local residents. The ones in support of this are people living in suburbs that are actively avoiding superior modes of transportation.
The proposal to remove the bike lanes is tremendously dangerous. I have lived on Bloor street for over a decade. These bike lanes save lives, improve business, and facilitate better traffic flow. We can feel the positive change in our communities along Bloor.

This is an incredibly poor use of resources.
If the Province is serious about decreasing gridlock then find ways to target people who park illegally and obstruct live lanes.

I drive in Toronto but also use bike lanes on Bloor and University daily to get to work. These bike lanes are the spine to Toronto’s cycling network, and more and more people are using them to move around.
