After the Bloor bike lanes…

After the Bloor bike lanes were installed I started using bikeshare to ride downtown for Blue Jays games and to go to restaurants etc. I would not be willing to ride without separated bike lanes so if you remove them I will have to stop riding which is a real shame. The city is a better place with more and better options to get around than just driving.

I also sometimes have to drive my car along Bloor west of Runnymede in the evening and the bike lanes have made the drive better. This is because before, when there were two lanes of traffic in each direction, at every intersection either the left or right lane could be blocked by someone trying to turn off Bloor. You had to constantly predict which lane would be free flowing and merge back and forth. Now there is always one free flowing lane since the turns generally have their own lanes.

I oppose this bill and would like the premier to let cities decide these issues for themselves.
