We don't need Bike lanes on major city arteries (like Bloor street) that are
- also serviced by a TTC train line OR
- have 2 lanes of traffic OR
- have speed limit of 50 km/h or more
Let's remove the badly planned (credit to Mayor Chow) bike lane infrastructure from Bloor street that is barely been used while majority of residents are stuck in traffic gridlocks, emergency vehicles are not able to get to the incident on time or TTC is unable to send back-up buses when train lines stop working.
Bikes lanes on minor arteries (like Annette, Dupont, Harbord) make a lot of sense to commute - single traffic lanes, 40km/h or lower speed limit. Let's keep them as is.
Advice for Mayor Chow and anyone who thinks replacing a whole traffic lane with a bike lane is good idea
- try driving your car on Bloor street during peak traffic hours to experience with what we face everyday
- pull some stats on bike lanes installed on Bloor street in the last year
- seek public input the next time you make a rash decision like this and end up wasting a lot of tax payers money and time
