The premise that the prohibition of bike and other special-purpose lanes will reduce air pollution is plainly wrong. Municipalities deserve the freedom to determine that lane configurations that include non-motor-vehicle lanes are appropriate where they can provide viable alternatives to driving.

It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s ownexperts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock!
It will make roads more dangerous. Protected bike lanes prevent serious injuries and deaths for people biking, walking, and driving!

Hi please stop interfering municipalities in road planning. The decision-making process should be evidence-based and aim to find the optimal solution, and adding a constraint on all new bike lanes is unreasonable.
The wording on this is too broad and risks removing bus lanes, patios and traffic calming measures along with the bike lanes themselves. I live near Bathurst/Bloor in Toronto and while I don't bike often, I can appreciate how many people use those lanes instead of driving.

As a voter and tax payer of the City of Toronto I oppose this bill. Our City should continue to have the power over it's roads and all infrastructure without the meddling of the provincial government....as it is we the citizens of Toronto who pay for these roads thru our taxes.

BIKE LANES ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE NEEDED AND SAFER BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE BIKES ON THE MANY ROADS NOW THAN THERE WERE A LONG TIME AGO, EVEN COLD DAYS LIKE TODAY. THEY CAN BE USED BY MOTOR CYCLES TOO I SEE.

Let's be real, you've already lost the plot after losing to remove bike lanes from University, Bloor and Yonge.
Your own data points against this and yet you keep trying.
Wanna get reelected? Yeah this isn't the way.

I live, work, and bike in the city of Toronto every day. I am strongly against this proposed legislation.
It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.

What a backwards piece of legislation. Study after study shows that bikes lanes do not cause congestion, and often even help by getting people out of cars and onto more space efficient modes of transportation. Regardless of outcome, this is provincial government overreach.

I strongly oppose the proposed measures in Bill 60 that would strip municipalities of their authority to plan and implement bike lanes and other road safety projects.

The implication that increased car capacity will decrease air pollution is incredibly misleading; "Traffic and congestion are a major source of air pollution especially in urban areas." If the goal of this government is to reduce air pollution, especially in urban areas such as the GTA, then the goa

Bike lanes reduce traffic and make cities safer. Compare cities around the world, those who prioritize bikes vs. those who prioritize cars. Which has better tourism, hosts more conferences, and boasts a stronger economy? On every case, it's those who prioritize bikes.
As a motorist, cyclist and pedestrian in a large urban centre, I am strongly opposed to Bill 60. When I was a young woman, before I had my driver's licence, I cycled to school and to work. And I was hit by a driver in an accident that was not my fault (ruled by police).

Beyond the following criticism of Bill 60 from CycleTO:
- It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.

I think government needs to safely accommodate all modes of transportation. This bill as proposed will limit future expansion of bike lanes across the Province. I believe the bill would benefit from an amendment that details how bike lanes could be expanded (I.e.
