This proposal would make Ontario and less and less liveable and desirable place for all of its residents. Bike infrastructure is integral to the operation and success of cities.

Ontario's chokehold on Toronto's infrastructure is wildly unethical. Torontonians invested in bike lanes. The Province has no business choking the city's infrastructure investments at the behest of non-Torontonian commuters.

Thank you for acknowledging the colossal waste of time and money regarding changing borders of and removing sections from the Greenbelt. Please don't make the same mistake again with the 413.

As someone who rides their bike weekly for transportation, I am very opposed to Ontario requiring provincial approval for bike lanes that remove a lane of traffic. I am also opposed to the removal of sections of the Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Avenue bike lanes in Toronto.

This bill is an incredible waste of time and money and will actively make our streets less safe and slower for all users. Ripping out existing infrastructure that exists and is used is an incredibly wasteful use of taxpayer money.

Putting bypass highways as a priority form of infrastructure planning is the absolute wrong path to choose in attempting to alleviate vehicular gridlock. Highway 401 was constructed as a bypass highway through Toronto in the mid 20th century.

This is a disgusting act of overreach by the provincial government. The bit about the removal of bike lanes being exempted from the environmental assessment act is telling. These transportation planning decisions (and I'm including the highway here) by the Ontario government have no basis in fact.

Bike lanes are extremely important for the safety of the growing number of cyclists, from children all the way up to the elderly. As vehicles are becoming larger and more dangerous, sharing the road is not sufficient to keeping these people safe.

The bike lanes save me and my fellow commuters not just time, but also give us the reassurance of safety in one of the most dangerous biking cities in the world.

I would like to express my extreme disappointment in the government proposing this bill.
Making changes to required environmental assessments is a disaster waiting to happen.
Removing rights of property owners with respect to expropriation is tantamount to bullying.

This comment will not matter because the government is not interested in doing what is best for the community or what is evidence-based. The Ford government repeatedly cites a decade-old and irrelevant figure to paint an inaccurate picture of cycling in Toronto.

I am strongly opposed to this bill. The responsibility for bike lanes is municipal, not provincial, and, even if it weren't, this bill moves us decades in the wrong direction. Leave bike lanes alone! Stay in your lane, Ford!
This Act is a terrible idea from the Ontario government that will result in more deaths due to cyclists being forced to share the road with motorized vehicles on busy streets, and more pollution by encouraging more motorized vehicles on the roads.

I rely on the City of Toronto's bike lanes and do not support any actions that would remove existing bike lanes or limit the expansion of Toronto's cycling network.
