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

the city is becoming impossible to get around

Restricting Yonge St to one lane for most of the street between Cresent Rd and St Clair which is where I live is silly. All it does is create a parking lot of cars that cannot move and as such spew CO 2 fumes all over this area. Itlearlly you cannot move on Yone St between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. VH

So excited that finally we’re getting the help we need

Have lost count of the amount of bikes using the pedestrian sidewalks instead of the bike lanes … yonge street south of st Clair is the worst!!!

Nobody uses them. Not good for climate change. Cars just idle in 1 lane instead of moving. They destroy businesses. They are dangerous. Ambulance drivers are stalled in traffic. They create road rage.

Too many bike lanes on arterial quote leads to traffic congestion, and noise and air pollution.

Please review Bloor Street - Islington to Jane first. There is minimal bike usage and the increase in traffic congestion and pollution is appalling.

bike lanes along bloor st west have been ill designed and poorly executed. What were they thinking?

City hall has created traffic chaos and ignored reality.

All vehicles bikes included should be license and insured

get rid of them

Stop the crazy congestion on our main streets. It is gridlock. The worst in North America

It is vital that changes be made to the bike lanes on Bloor St. Not only have they caused extreme congestion, they are unsafe. Many drivers are choosing to drive on residential streets to avoid the frustrating congestion on Bloor St..

I'm not againt bike lanes where they make sense. Bike lanes turned The Kingsway into a mess & caused more cars to speed down my street to avoid the lengthy backlog and the bike lanes are hardly ever used.

Let’s get rid of bike lanes on arterial roads and get the city moving again !

Alright, let’s break it down to the essentials: Somewhere in an urban planning office, someone decides the chaotic, overloaded street needs a bike lane squeezed right between exhaust clouds and honking horns. Because nothing says progress like sending cyclists into a battle zone of bumpers and brake lights. These must be the same masterminds who have never experienced the full intensity of São Paulo's legendary two hundred and eighty-kilometer traffic crawl, breathing in that unique Tietê aroma—a mix of vehicle fumes, stagnant water, and the faint hint of resignation. Drivers spend hours covering what should take twenty minutes, inching forward at a glacial pace in a journey that is more about testing patience and endurance than reaching a destination. And meanwhile, there they are: the determined health enthusiasts, pedaling through smog, fully suited in professional cycling gear, perhaps unaware that their wardrobe choices are on full display. Each breath they take is not mountain air but a blend of exhaust, river odor, and tire residue. So yes, perhaps these visionaries, who believe in tree-hugging and lining busy streets with bike lanes, have achieved a new level of urban enlightenment. They are living proof that, when it comes to curious ideas, city planners will never run out of material.

A facts based approach is needed with cycle lanes which remove dedicated vehicles lanes and increase congestion.

A bike lane squeezed right between exhaust clouds and honking horns." Because nothing says "progress" like sending cyclists into a battle zone of bumpers and brake lights. These must be the same masterminds who have never experienced São Paulo's legendary 280-kilometer traffic crawl, breathing in that potent Tietê perfume—a rich mix of fumes, decaying sludge, and the faint aroma of existential dread. Drivers spend hours covering what should take 20 minutes, inching forward at a glacial pace in a journey that’s more about testing survival instincts than reaching a destination. And meanwhile, there they are: the self-proclaimed health heroes, pedaling through smog, decked out in skin-tight cycling gear, blissfully unaware that their Calvin Klein underwear is staging its own tragic public debut. Each breath they take isn’t fresh mountain air but a cocktail of exhaust, river stench, and tire residue. So yes, perhaps these visionaries, who believe in hugging trees and lining busy streets with bike lanes, have achieved a new level of “urban enlightenment.” They're living proof that, when it comes to absurd ideas, city planners will never run out of material.

Stop the theft of our roads for marginally used bike lanes

Hopefully Danforth Avenue gets attention
