Please listen to your own expert advice. This legislation will not reduce car travel times; it will worsen them. The best way to let cars move faster is to offer people alternatives and get cars off the road to make space. Read more

I would like you to reconsider the proposals in Bill 60, and remove wording that gives the Province standing to interfere in Municipal transit/traffic strategy. Read more

I rely on safe streets in my commute. I can’t afford a car in Toronto and TTC is not always reliable. During the summer, I rely on being able to safely bike and during the winter I walk an hour to work both ways. Read more

La mobilité est un véritable enjeu pour l'Ontario et pour la région du Grand Toronto. Les specificités de chaque municipalités sont propres à chacune et ce sont elles qui cernent le mieux ces particularités. Read more

This is not about being “pro-bike” or “anti-car”. It’s about evidence-based transportation planning and local democracy. And no matter how many times Doug Ford says it, the facts are clear: bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion. Repeating it again and again and again doesn't make it true. Read more

I cannot believe that a provincial government which purports to be representative of the people would pass legislation to control municipal decision making in this way. Each community has its own circumstances and that is the level at which local policies should be made and implemented.

I am opposed to this bill, which prioritizes motor vehicle lanes over street improvements that rely on reallocating space. The bill is a gross overstep, stripping cities of local authority even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents. Read more

Removing bike lanes—or blocking efforts to install them—is the epitome of entitlement. It reflects a mindset that prioritizes personal convenience over community safety, sustainability, and accessibility. Read more

The provincial obsession with limiting municipal decision-making is preposterous. It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents. Read more

I am a 74 year old retired person. I live in downtown Toronto. I own and ride a bike and I own and drive a car. I am pro-bike but I am not anti-car. I ride my bike as much as possible for health reasons and for environmental reasons. It's not polluting like my car. Read more

I believe that cities and their elected bodies are the best suited for determining where bikes lanes should go. This legislation that strips cities of that power are very problematic as an erosion of local democracy. The province should stick to provincial matters. Read more

Canada has some of the highest GHG emissions per person in the world. We also have some of the highest passenger vehicle emissions per person in the whole world. Rivaled only by places like the U.S., Saudi Arabia and Australia. Read more

Giving the provincial government this much broad power to determine how roads are built will disproportionally effect the province's more vulnerable populations: the elderly, children going to school, cyclists. Read more

I strongly oppose the proposed amendments in Bill 60 that would prevent municipalities from reducing motor vehicle lanes to create or improve bike lanes, bus lanes, and other community street improvements. Read more

Municipalities should have the choice and ability to reduce car traffic lanes for uses that move people more efficiently than cars. Having a city that has too much traffic is like having a flooded basement, you don't fix the flooded basement by adding more water. Read more

There is one proven way to reduce congestion: convincing more people to either stop driving or to drive less. Reductions in "traffic lanes" is one way to reduce the amount of driving. Providing safe spaces to bike is another proven method. Read more
