I work near Yonge & King 5 days a week. Bike lanes I see regularly on Adelaide and Richmond are used by relatively few people mainly during rush hours Tues-Thurs May to Oct only. These 2 streets used to move traffic well with multiple lanes and now have only 1 real usable lane at intersections where turning lanes have been included. Meanwhile King just south has basically banned cars and is mainly used by streetcars and bikes. I drive to the Danforth area in the east end to go to a gym several days a week and traffic is now impossible on Dundas or Gerrard eastbound because of the reduction of traffic lanes for bikes so Eastern is the only option without bike lanes. NO ONE CARES ABOUT PEOPLE WITH MOBILITY CHALLENGES. Bike lanes have severely impacted my partner with Parkinson's disease as it is now very hard for to get an Uber to drop him off close to a business or dr's office on Yonge or on Danforth due to reduction of areas to pull over/bike lanes. Even if we drive with his wheelchair sticker there is no where to park close to let him off. Why do the rights of cyclists matter more than a disabled person?
