I think that this is a great proposal - From my commuting experience in Toronto, I think that it will be important to reduce the presence of bike lanes in major arteries and especially along BLOOR Street. The bikelanes have significantly increased my travel time especially during working hours as I commute even for simple errands between Bloor West-Kingsway-Islington. As well I often travel downtown to visit elderly parents in long term care often transporting items and the commute is horrible.

Please, please, please remove the Bloor bike lanes.

As well, I have noticed the problem is exacerbated when there is a subway closure and shuttle buses are used , this puts a massive backlog and slows commutes to a snails pace. I can't imagine how this has impacted the TTC, and would expect also that bike lanes may even decrease ridership and revenue to the TTC along bloor.

I can't imagine what this is also doing to business for local retailers and parking has either been eliminated, reduced or is situated in such a way that it is unsafe to enter and exit the vehicle.
