I think that this is a great proposal - From my commuting experience in Toronto, I think that it will be important to reduce the presence of bike lanes in major arteries and especially along BLOOR Street. Read more

This is a fantastic initiative, I'm fully supportive. Tyranny of the minority forcing exorbitant amount of costs onto the majority. If the city can't afford to remove the bike lanes, I'm sure you'll have no problem mobilizing citizen volunteers to do it for them over a weekend. Read more

PLEASE take out the bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University. Those are major arteries in Toronto. With the subway running along those streets, ie easy access to another mode of transportation, we do not need bike lanes. Read more

Bike lanes are critical infrastructure that provide SAFETY for vulnerable road users. It is a safety issue and an equity issue to remove any bike lanes. I currently use the bike lanes to visit my grandmother in Etobicoke (care trips), and commute to my workplace at Yonge and Bloor. Read more

The City of Toronto’s carbon emissions by sector website, states that unless (1) 30% of cars are electric and (2) 75% of local trips (within 5km) are made by means other than driving – by walking, cycling or transit – the City will not meet it’s 2030 carbon emissions reduction target! Read more

Hello, I’m a resident of Toronto, originally from Saskatchewan. I moved here 15 years ago, and growing up in Saskatchewan, driving was the only way to get around the province and cities. Read more

This is ridiculous for many reasons… - biking is much better for the environment and the extra space will just end up being used for parking - all the proposed lanes to be removed are on the subway lines …people should be encouraged to use public transportation (or bike) ahead of cars Read more

Spending $75 million to remove existing bike lane infrastructure is ludicrous. I know you want to give demolition and construction jobs to your cronies but come on. This will only worsen traffic in the short time for a possible small uptick in congestion lightening in the long room. Read more

I don’t believe removing bike lanes is the best idea! They encourage efficiency and exercise. We need better public transit and ideas to reduce traffic! We have too many people in our city to allow free range of cars at all times. Read more

I strongly object to the proposed plan to remove existing bike lanes on Toronto and to the proposed plan to force municipalities to seek provincial approval in order to install new bikes lanes in place of a lane of traffic. Read more
