Get rid of them. Use side streets safer for everyone.

A city is like a human body; if its major arteries are clogged, it will die. Let's keep Toronto not just moving, but also alive and full of energy, with a healthy circulation that feeds and supports all the different parts of its body.

Let’s get traffic moving for better efficiency and get bikes off major arteries.
Thanks!

Bike lanes are fine, but not on our busiest streets. Use laneways and secondary streets, plan a separate, distinct infrastructure & routes for bikes to create better safety for all.
DEFINE & ENFORCE REGULATIONS FOR MOTORIZED BIKES & MOTORCYCLES that are the biggest users of bike lanes, 2 to 1 in Toronto, but can be a danger to cyclists and pedestrians!

I strongly support this movement. Current approach is nonsensical and purely ideological. No way to govern a large global city like Toronto.

Bike lanes on Bloor West were shoe horned in without foresight to the ensuing congestion and lines of unmoving traffic on the Humber River Bridge eastbound.

I am behind Ford 100%. I have been living near old mill station for over 10 years. It was wonderful. Shopping along Bloor West has become a nightmare. I now go along Annette..
then south to a parking lot. Street. Parking is a crap shoot. I would take the subway, but there is no elevator.

Bike lanes on non-arterial roads thru Neighbourhoods should not significantly disrupt Vehicular flow or eliminate valuable parking spots.

And remove them from Dundas east of the Don Valley. When it had 4 lanes it was like a mini-expressway to get to the east end. Now it's gridlock.

I live at Yonge and Summerhill and always frustrated when ambulance or fire trucks can’t get by because of the bike lanes! Move the bike lanes to Avenue Road!

i'm terrified of driving on Bloor, along Bloordale i live in the area and to turn right is frightening can't see bikes coming due to parked cars. No place to go when ambulances are coming.

Fed up with the congestion. Why not put the lanes on the side streets like they did in Vancouver.

For many years, I'm a cyclist and I'm a driver. Making major streets narrower for automobile traffic brings more harm than good now. Cities must look for a balanced approach: cars, (e)bikes, scooters, public transport should co-exist in dynamics. Bring science in, bring modeling in - first think then cut. This would be a smarter use for taxpayers' money.
