More cars more traffic! No matter how many lanes you add, more people driving, more congestion and pollution.
If you create safe bicycle infrastructure and public transit, vehicular congestion goes down. It's simple logic.

Since the expansion of protected bike lanes in Toronto, I have felt safe to cycle rather than drive. Studies show that restricting road use to prioritise cars does not improve congestion. It is also a huge hinderance to our climate goals.

Bike lanes are cheaper than public transportation and yet allow individuals who cannot afford cars (or would prefer not to drive for whatever reason) to choose a cheaper alternative to get around. If cycling can become a safe way of transportation, studies show that local businesses also benefit.

This government continues to act in a manner that runs counter to common sense and any pretence of following best practices based off of scientific backing.

I strongly oppose any legislation that restricts municipalities from reducing motor vehicle lanes to build or expand bicycle lanes. Safe, connected cycling infrastructure is essential for reducing traffic congestion, improving public health, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

This proposal will worsen traffic congestion, not solve it. It will make roads more dangerous. Let the cities decide for themselves what the best use of their streets is.
I like biking around my city, and I find that too much space is allocated for cars in city centres and downtowns as it is. I think cities should have the right to decide how their space is arranged.

I support this legislation. Extreme green environmental policies promoted by municipal politicians who cater to a small number of special interest groups need to be curtailed. The City of Toronto policy on bike lanes is a perfect example of special interest groups run amok.
Province of Ontario, I beg of you, please do not move forward with this bill. I am not only writing in my capacity as a cyclist, who will undoubtedly be affected by this bill, but also as a citizen of Toronto.

We've been here before with Bill 212 - which was a similarly harmful piece of legislation. Measures to limit the development of bike lanes are completely antithetical to the forward-looking goals we should have for our communities.

I am a life long Ontario resident who is concerned this bill is not based in scientific, engineering, environmental, or planning evidence. I am concerned this bill is only serving as culture war fuel.

Please don't get rid of the bike lanes. They are what keeps millions of commuters safe and without them we will have higher deaths and you'll have blood on your hands.
I am a cyclist, pedestrian and driver. I am also a health care worker. I do not agree with Bill 60. We should be encouraging people to bike, walk and take transit more to improve health and well-being. This is a health equity as well as population health issue.

I cycle, use public transit, and walk in the City of Toronto. I like to believe that in Ontario we are moving towards making our transportation and our streets safer, cleaner, and basing our decisions on evidence, science, and traffic and transportation engineering.

It strips cities of local authority and decision-making, even when projects are supported by evidence and local residents.
It will worsen traffic congestion, not reduce it. The government’s ownexperts have consistently said that bike lanes are not a cause of gridlock.

I don't understand why this legislation is necessary or desirable. I elect my municipal politicians to make decisions that pertain to the municipality in which I live.

No.
No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
I'm not sure how to be more clear? Your government seems to do the standard engagement process and then disregards all feedback provided by residents.

Bill 60 should be scrapped. It's scope is too broad. I'm afraid bill 60 will open many loopholes for future infrastructure development. Costing Ontarians millions . Furthermore, putting bike lanes in a residential area shouldn't need a provincial level approval.
