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

Bike lanes are bad because: They cause more pollution because cars sit idling spewing exhaust into the air because the live lanes are reduced and traffic is gridlocked. Therefore, it's bad for business when people can't get to their jobs due to gridlock. In Toronto, 50% of the year (Nov to April) it is either dark, cold, snowy or rainy, so bikes should be ridden 50% of the year. Toronto is hilly, not flat like Holland where it easy to ride bikes.

I rode my bike for many years and was able TO USE SIDE/RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO GET TO WHERE I WAS GOING. We DO NOT need designated Bike Lanes ANYWHERE. Side streets with a very short venture on busy streets (e.g. Yonge) will get you to where you need to go. Toronto is not Amsterdam -- Toronto was NEVER meant to have bike lanes. This is for the "Snowflakes" and spoiled lazy brats -- not for the general public. University was once the most beautiful street in Toronto -- not it is a mess!!!!! Action must be taken now -- emergency vehicles cannot operate quickly nor safely.

Yes we had gridlock before them, but funnelling ever more vehicles on fewer lanes does nothing but make it worse. The province is losing billions due to increased congestion. A pity that Toronto city councillors cannot figure this out.

Toronto is dysfunctional and navigating this city is chaotic. Rational, common sense is needed to keep goods and services moving. STOP the crusade against vehicles and get this city functioning again.

Please get rid of the bike lanes, at least on Bloor St. The congestion is ruining our city

I support Bill 212

Time to roll back the bike lanes.

such a divisive subject , I know. But the congestion is mind numbing, there are 2 bridges that the lanes affect, just cannot get to work on the east side of the Humber Bridges

Supporting the sensible reconsideration of the excessive amount and location of Bike Lanes

The bike lanes on Scarlett Rd south of Eglinton Ave W have created a massive traffic jam at rush hours. You're lucky if you see one bike riding along that bike path during those times. It has never been that clogged up. Those bike lanes are a nuisance and should be removed.

In addition to the entitlement that some cyclists feel they have; the scratches on my car; the broken mirror, etc, ebough of the bike lanes. Just to mention one street, Bloor. I try to avoid it at all costs, just because of the cyclists. Quite a number of times, I have seen fire trucks unable to pass. It can a bit of time for cars to move or in sections rhat there are 3 lanes due cars making a left or right. I feel bad, should any businesses, homes on Bloor Street ever catch fire! It will take long for the fire trucks to arrive. Sometimes, I feel that NO ONE gives much thought to how bike lanes affect the community, before implementing them. Let cyclists take side streets.

keep bike lanes but not as they are - better planning and study is needed

Remove on Bloor Street. What a mess with traffic flow. Emergency vehicles will need triple time to get to their destinations and snow plows will have problems clearing snow with all those barriers.

Let's try to eliminate cars downtown as well!

I think people need to just be more respectful of one another without creating barriers that make traveling so challenging. Both drivers and cyclists need to be careful.

ALL BIKE LANES ON BUSY STREETS HAVE TO GO!!!!! THANK YOU FOR GETTING THIS PETITION GOING!!

Remove all bike lanes! We have shared the streets forever! Even one ways bikes can go everywhere but now bike lanes even in small streets have taken up parking and caused havoc to residents needing the parking space! What a waste of money and such idiotic urban planning! Bikes do not need lanes, we all share the road! It’s causing such congestion which is counterproductive as hundreds of cars now sit in traffic for the odd bike to pass every 20 min if that! Remove all bike lanes is the most common sense move!

Bicycle lanes on major Toronto streets are dangerous and severely interfere with traffic

It’s about time there was some place to push back

Keep bike lanes. But Not on busy streets that are barely wide enough for two lanes of traffic. Toronto must be liveable for everybody
