As a business owner on Bloor…

As a business owner on Bloor West I do thinking it would be beneficial to work with those customers affected by traffic congestion. However, instead of planning to remove existing bike lanes there should be an equal emphasis on improving regional transit and this trying to reduce car traffic as much as possible. Our North American attitude that the car is the best way to get around will never keep pace with our population and thus congestion will always be an issue. We need to look at world cities that have prioritized moving all people around from a big picture view versus the false narrative that we have both cars and people moving well in a city such as Toronto. Instead of diving voters let business thrive with reduced congestion and make so more people are moving around easier and not just focusing on car traffic/infrastructure. We are already so behind on change but if we continued to believe car traffic is the only issue to focus on we will miss out what could make a Toronto a better functioning city.
