Stop the bike lanes at Victoria park Disabled people that live on Danforth need access to street parking

Let’s be smart about bike lanes…use data to come up for the right solution for each neighbourhood.

Reducing main streets in Toronto to one lane in each direction has made navigating the city next to impossible. Congestion is everywhere, cars and trucks are idling spewing exhaust fumes into the air, while bike lanes are usually empty.

This is absolutely necessary to improve the city of Toronto. It is plague by poor infrastructure decisions that also waste tax payer money.

From a former bicyclist: instead of isolating bicycles on the roads, have bicyclists learn the rules of the road, and licence them so they can be accountable.

Please get the City to do an updated study for accurate volume/count. The study was conducted in 2022, when people were working from home.

Where are the Transportation studies which ealuatd this,? o they exist?

Happy to put a lawn sign up at 45 Dupont Street

I am in favour of bike lanes, and fully support fewer better thought out bike routes

Logical, smart policy driven by evidence. Bike lanes on certain streets as currently configured don't work - like Yonge Street where traffic easily becomes clogged because there is only one lane. Most of the year (colder months) there are very few bikes that travel these bike lanes - usually less than 1 bike for every 100 cars and yet the bikes and the cars get the same amount of space on the road (cars get one lane and the bikes get one lane). Traffic is a disaster, lots of cars and TTC buses idling, emergency vehicles can't get thru and all this for the rare bike that travels these lanes.

"Strong mayor" powers not required, but agree with all other points.

Yonge street is a major artery dividing the city into east and west. It’s inconceivable to prioritize bike lanes over cars and have the present one lane north and one lane south. I leave on the east side of Yonge street south of st clair in a cul de sac neighborhood. We have one access to Yonge street and there is no traffic light to allow emergency exit.

Remove the Bike Lanes!!!

Current policy on traffic is to continue the war on the car by making the entire city one lane. This simply makes the city less productive and for the benefit of very very few.

Long overdue for a mayor with cajones to stand up to the cycle lobby at Toronto city hall and side with the taxpayers footing the bills. For starter, licnese bikes so there's accountability.

Yes to bikes ! No to obstructing access to businesses , in particular medical offices.

Stop destroying our main streets and avenues with bike lanes. Think of the majority who pay road taxes. Let’s not create traffic jams intentionally on our city centres. Enough is enough!!

Often bike lanes create a dangerous situation for both, car & bicycle… see Bloor St W at Ellis Park Rd. Bicycles advancing at high speed down a hill when travelling East. They are blocked from view for turning cars into and out of Ellis Park Rd from/to Bloor Street by parked cars on the South side of Bloor. An accident waiting to happen if it has not yet. There are multiple reasons why bike lanes should be moved to calmer streets. We see this in Europe. The fumes and fine dust particles inhaled by bicycle riders are a big health hazard.

Let’s be smarter about bike lanes.

Bike lanes are wrong. They obstruct the flow of traffic. It is not even possible to turn off of University Ave to proceed westbound due to the bike lanes.
