See the bike lane on Bartlett avenue crowbarred in against neighbourhood and public school wishes. Poor planning and arrogant city staff and councilors (looking at you Bailao) help support a small radical interest group at the expense of the health and wellbeing of the city and its citizens that actually pay the taxes and fees that keep it up. Bikes are not licensed and do not pay fees yet are having a weirdly overwhelming influence on street use and traffic patterns.

Please do not put bike lanes on major arterial roads. Before amalgamation bike lanes were not allowed. On major roads.

Too many irresponsible, aggressive cyclists on our roads.

Remove the bike lanes from TTC routes especially. AIso, I see more cyclists on the sidewalks than on the bike lanes. They need to be licensed so that you can report them.

Bike lanes on major streets are dangerous. They place cyclists in harm’s way and vehicles avoiding cyclists can cause accidents and injuries.

I both drive and cycle. I’m all for sensible bike lanes, but the need to put them on every major road is ridiculous. Cycling isn’t a viable option for many, especially during the winter months. So why is infrastructure designed so heavily in favour of cyclists?

I do not support bike lanes on our major streets. The congestion is hampering emergency vehicles, and good traffic flow is a must for the city to prosper. The plan to extend Bloor St West to Kipling is ridiculous. Just last week, it took 20 minutes from Prince Edward to South Kingsway (major route to reach the Gardiner), can’t image when it’s down to one lane in each direction! Enough pandering to a small bike lobby with a very loud voice. Move bike lanes from our major streets to secondary roads.

this will only mean bigger traffic congestion on the side streets, where kids play, people walk their dogs, etc.

People will use side streets to get around the traffic created making for a dangerous situation…especially since we don’t have sidewalks.

I am opposed to dedicated bike lanes on major roads. The existing ones should be removed and cyclists should abide by the rules of the road and share the lanes with vehicles

I live in the Danforth community and ever since the bike lanes came it has been nothing but a nightmare especially when coming out from the driveway.

Get rid of ALL bike lanes. There are many, many trails and side streets for the bike riders. Also it seemed there was a priority for snow cleaning the bike lanes this past winter. The roads and sidewalks need to be cleared first as they are essential for the majority of individuals in all areas or Toronto.

Let's be smart about where we install bike lanes

As an example, the dedicated bike lanes on Scarlett Rd, starting at St. Clair rarely have many people on bikes and traffic was reduced to one lane either way to make accommodation for them. With the construction there now in that area and set to continue once the bridge is rebuilt, it is getting very backed up during high traffic times.

Because of bike lanes, most Torontonians are suffering from congestion of road. The mayor should care for the majority of people not only a few bikers.
