Two lanes of vehicle traffic BOTH WAYS always plus shop parking on all sides is the minimum fair deal to everyone.

BIKE LANES ARE MOSTLY USED BY FOOD DELIVERY RIDERS. ALSO TOO MANY E-BIKES TRAVELLING TOO FAST ON THEM.

What enforcement is / will there be to ensure that bike lanes aren’t taken over by unlicensed motorised vehicles (e-bikes, motorcycles, electric delivery trikes etc.) that can travel much faster than human-powered bicycles (or vehicular traffic on the street for that matter) and pose a danger to the bicyclists, pedestrians and licensed on street motor vehicles? Do the police have the resources and legal authorities to deal with this type of abuse? Delivery ebikes in particular pose a major challenge here.

This insanity has to stop. I’m sure those responsible for these terrible decisions don’t have to suffer the consequences daily like the rest of us do.

The bike lanes have done nothing but create congestion and harm small business's.

I am all for bike lanes but I do not support the removal of vehicular lanes.

They have killed retail, are a disaster for slowing commutes to a crawl and will be useless for half of the year with ice and snow. A moronic waste of taxpayer's dollars!

Eglinton West between Yonge and Avenue is an obstacle course…impossible to drive, and painfully slow due to the inability to drive is a straight line in one lane for more than a few metres at a time. Eglinton West getting on to the Allen Road northbound is a joke. Every morning cars are lined up at a red light for the bike lane traffic that never comes…ugh!!!

My parents never taught me to ride a bike so I don't like bike lanes either. I'd rather pollute the city and kill the planet in my F150 truck, which is definitely not compensating for anything.

The retail stores are all closing as a result of people not being able to park due to bike lanes no one uses.

I also really hate bike lanes despite all of the evidence showing they actually help traffic flow, keep people safe and help local businesses. Shout out to my fellow morons!

We need to take many of the bike lanes away. 3% of commuters use bike lanes......We live in a country that has snow and cold weather.

Please limit this to areas that can actually take it.

Bike lanes on Eglinton West are never used-they have created a huge backup of traffic and added to congestion on Eglinton W towards Allen Rd.

They have over run the city and many go unused.. Time to have actual data and remove the bike lanes that have replaced car lanes.

The Red lanes on Morningside cause more congestion. They should be changes to HOV lanes in order to keep traffic moving.

I live on Bloor Street West at Old Mill and the traffic has become a nightmare since the bike lanes were instituted. I am a cyclist but the bike lanes should not be in the west end on a main thoroughfare leading to the Sourh Kingsway access to Gardiner expressway.

I think the Brewer Street bike lanes should end at Jane and not go further west as they are not needed.

We live near the Humber River bridge on Bloor Street and see the congestion and chaos on the bridge on a daily basis.

I’m in favor of bike lanes but doing in a smart manner…right now, it’s not done that way.
