About time something gets done about a very poor decision in the long run. Without considering all angles and not even taking into account at how many cyclists on any given day are out there. Look at all the pollution and grid lock that is caused for the least convenient mode of transportation for most ppl in this City.

Bike lanes are dangerous no bikes or vehicles have license plates. They are fast moving cause serious injuries and have no accountability. Very dangerous for our aging population and and are in front oh Hospitals. It’s unfair and will cause our Medical Centre to have patients ttatvwill cost OHIP and patients in need have longer wait times

It's dangerous having bike lanes along Broadview towards O'Connor Dr. I was on the bus and I swear that someone is going to get hurt, either by a vehicle or bus.

This should never have happened. All costs of removal should come out of JT's pocket!!! They are not to use the taxpayers funds for the removal of the bike lanes as we had no say in this!!!

Bike riders do not follow the rules of the road. They often go right through red lights. Has been my experience at Yonge and Davisville. Sneak up speeding along special bike lane while vehicle is making right hand turn. VERY DANGEROUS!!! Without bike lane vehicle can hug the corner so bike can't sneak in.

This is a fantastic initiative by the provincial government. The city, the councilors and the bureaucrats did a sham of a study and virtually zero consultation with those affected. Anyone who understands traffic studies would quickly understand that the city had its conclusions and back solved the study from when the study was conducted, the time intervals, the distances traveled etc). Thankfully, the city and its infrastructure are being rescued by the province.

Cyclists should have to have insurance and a license as many of them drive dangerously without regard to the street signs or pedestrians.

Keep the bike lanes out of the residential streets and off the main arteries and only on secondary arteries. Spend our hard earned tax dollars on more crucial needs!!

It was a terrible idea to put bike lanes on busy street like Bloor reducing the lanes to one each way. Imagine how bad it will be during the winter when snow plows are trying to clear the roads. We do not have the climate for bike lanes in Toronto....Huge mistake

Bike lanes are safe and reduce traffic congestion. Bikes take up less space than cars and reduce auto volumes

Bike lanes bad for emergency vehicles and make it impossible for those with disabilities to use parking spaces.

It is simply inappropriate to install bike lanes on one of the busiest streets in the city. I’m especially concerned about ambulances trying to get by.

Too much grid lock and issues in Toronto. We need less bike lanes - keep Toronto moving!

Store keepers on 'major' streets of Toronto EXPECT that customers can park nearby & do some shopping. Our streets can only "properly" service the forgoing. It may be sad but it is an "intelligent FACT" that a bike lane on these streets is NOT PROPER to the ORIGINAL parties for whom these facilities were created.
