Petition to remove bike lanes from arterial streets…enough of the insanity!

I’m all in favour of more transparency and unbiased data.

Keep at it. Bike lanes are a cancer on those of us elderly and disabled needing to use a car to attend medical appointments, shopping etc. The mayor never addresses the majority who do not or cannot use bikes.

Human beings are not to be living or feeling entrapped this will cause a heightened mental illness as Covid pandemic did the Health care cannot restore mental health because they too are experiencing mental breakdown. Let’s start caring for human beings rather than suffocating the Spirit of man.

Eglinton W bike lane at Allen Rd backs up traffic to Bathhurst trying to turn right, repeatedly giving way to a Bike Lane green light (to go straight on) which has no bike traffic on it - apparently ever IME. This is a no-brainer for removal

We live in Bloor West Village and have to drive east to the Kinsway and beyond for appointments. We are 70 years old so we need our car. We only see a handful of cyclists on Bloor St. The bike lane needs to be removed on Bloor West. Thank you.

Removing 2 lanes from Yonge Street has moved traffic from a commercial street into the residential neighbourhood we're people live. Cars are idling in residential neighborhoods during rush hour. During rush hour, I cannot see how ambulances and fire trucks can possibly access residents in a timely manner on the streets that back onto the ravine or a park and are only accessible via Yonge Street.

These bike lanes in this neighbourhood are overwhelmingly unwanted. They have been a mistake from the word go. Very, VERY rarely used, all they do is congest traffic and contribute to the pollution they were otherwise supposed to help address. This is NOT Amsterdam and never will come even close.

The bike lanes make it unsafe to enter the street as the driver cannot see the oncoming traffic. Great idea but it really doesn't work.

Keep bicycle lanes off major roads and any road where there is a subway line. Put them where they make sense.

Want the Bloor West Village and Kingsway area lanes gone. I am a local resident that was considering moving because of this final nail in the war on cars by the city politicians. No parking, can't see bikes coming now when turning right off of bloor, seniors can't get over barriers or find parking, more noise/pollution/car back up and lost time sitting in traffic. Why have dedicated bike lanes when there are next to no bikes in this area anyway!

The have completely ground traffic to a halt on Yonge street and associated side streets and as well on the Danforth. Do bikers pay extra taxes for those special lanes and the daily maintenance?

Absolutely, it is imperative that all bike lanes be removed ASAP. The disruption and immense traffic they have caused must be eliminated. Bicycles are not a priority regarding transportation. The economy to be a priority and these bike lanes a a terrible threat!

Bike lanes on major roads are counter productive

Please remove all the bike lanes from the City of Toronto. Bikers are super selfish and don't deserve any consideration what so ever.

please stop this craziness....eglinton is a mess and NO ONE uses the bike lanes!

The congestion is becoming unbearable. You can remove all lanes for cars completely and this will still not be a biking city given the hills and northern climate. We cannot become something we are not. This is not the Field of Dreams. You can build it but they will not come. Put efforts instead into public transportation.

Bike lanes should not be on main roads.

Many roads with bike lanes make no sense. Following reasons - - increased pollution because of increased traffic idling - impact establishments as it becomes harder to find parking nearby, resulting in decrease in revenue - impossible for people with disabilities to be let off in front of establishments on roads with a single lane AND a bike lane, subject to fines for blocking traffic if we do - dangerous reworking of lanes, suddenly going from 2-1, dangerous concrete barriers not easily visible that can cause accidents or damage to vehicles, lanes that snake left and right (eg. Eglinton between Allen and Yonge St.) - bike lanes allowing motorized scooters/e-bikes are extremely dangerous for cyclists. They go fast, they're heavy and any impact can be extremely hazardous to cyclists. I feel safer riding in traffic than in a bike lane because of these e-bikes

Please exercise simple common sense, remove them permanently.

We need a rational approach to bike lanes, not the congested, nonsense approach being implemented now.
