Hi there,
Please, please reconsider removing bike lanes on Bloor St W. Bloor is by far one of the safest bike commutes in all of Toronto because of the bike lanes!
I love this city and part of the reason why is because of Bloor St W and its culture. The bike lanes are an integral part of the Bloor St W culture - a young, hip neighbourhood where walking and cycling are how a large majority of people commute to work, school, home, and their local cafe or thrift store.
The congestion of Bloor is nothing compared to Eglinton Ave (and Eglinton doesn’t have bike lanes). By removing bike lanes on Bloor, you will effectively be putting cyclists at risk without a barrier to help shield them from the countless erratic, distracted, road-raging drivers Toronto has these days. If you think Bloor is congested now, just wait and see what happens if you remove the bike lanes.
Please reconsider. Please don’t take away our bike lanes.
