Adding more lanes of traffic does not help ease congestion, studies have constantly shown this. Having safe and reliable infrastructure for alternative transportation is very important. Read more

I strongly oppose this bill. I am both a biker and a driver. As a biker, I regularly used bike lanes to commute and get exercise around Toronto. As a driver, I do not want the additional traffic that would come from forcing more people to drive. Read more

The plan to remove existing bicycle lanes is truly a sign of government overreach. Let the City of Toronto and all other municipalities decide their road use planning, the province has no business getting involved. Research has shown time and again that more lanes does not reduce traffic. Read more

Stop the removal of bike lanes. It is expensive and not necessary. Bike lanes are fiscally responsible investment by the city and the province does not have power to regulate what the city does with its roads.

Bike lanes are important! Saving lives is move valuable to me than a few minutes in traffic. Has the city done a real analysis of how much travel time bike lanes actually save or is this just a ploy for Doug ford to distract voters from real issues?

Supporting private vehicles over other transportation options is a sure fire way to ensure traffic and gridlock continue. Giving people safe and reliable bike lanes is the main way to support people getting out of cars and reducing traffic. Read more

Destroying (expensive) infrastructure doesn't fix the very real problem of gridlock it will in all likelihood make it worse. Getting rid of bike lanes will not get ride of bikes on the road, it'll make 2 lane roads with bike lanes, into 2 lane roads. Read more

As a proud Torontonian, wife and mother of 2 young girls, the protected bike lanes in the city keep me safe during my commute to the office downtown. Please do not remove any bike lanes. I use the Bloor bike lane at least twice/wk round trip. Read more

Do not remove the bike lanes. This reduces traffic and is better for the environment. I use the bike lanes 5 days a week for commuting for work. Removing them is targeting low income individuals who use bike lanes for safe transportation. Removing bike lanes will put more people in danger.

As a paramedic, seeing the bike lanes being removed makes me extremely concerned for the citizens and the dangers this will impose on the population. Please reconsider this and keep the bike lanes
