I hope the Ontario Government eliminates the bike lanes on major streets and avenues in Toronto. This has been a nightmare for business and driving around the city. I no longer spend money in Toronto, where I live, but leave the city to get things done, go to restaurants and parks. The bike lanes in my opinion make things more dangerous on the streets. Frustrated drivers do not drive better. As a pedestrian in Toronto, I am also afraid to cross the street. Never seen such traffic before, all because there are not enough lanes for cars to go through and everyone is pushing through to get through the intersection or turn right or left. Just horrendous. Bike lanes are fine, but on adjacent streets where there is no major traffic. The vast majority of bikers do not obey traffic rules, that is the simple truth. I hope the Ontario Government gets rid of these bike lanes for good. We have a lot of problems in the city due to traffic above ground, and underground. These bikers bring on their dirty bikes into the subway during rush hour. They dirty our clothes and take up space for riders. I saw a woman unable to move her baby carriage because a bike was blocking it, she missed her stop. Further to this the return back to the office initiative by companies is increasing the problem. There is too much traffic, with many working from home, now if they return to the office full time, you will get even more traffic in the subways and on the streets. For many people with health issues or age, riding the bike on the streets of Toronto is not an option, they need to be in their cars due to disability or health challenges. Or take the subway and not worry about bikes getting them stuck unable to leave, or dirty them. Please get rid of the bike lanes, and get the city moving again! Police officers should also be encouraged to ticket the bike riders since most of them break the rules of the road.
