The bike lanes on Yonge st have caused major problems to residential streets. The new gridlock on Yonge means that drivers try to leave onto side streets. This has happened on Roxborough st W which is the first left turn on Yonge after Davenport . The traffic heads to avenue road. But this detour gets blocked so from 2pm the traffic backs up from Avenue Rd to past Molson on Rox W. Every day.
My daughter lives on that section with 3 children. They had a big problem with selling their house due to traffic issues . Nobody wants to live there now.
People who work in the area and needs car find it takes them double the time it used to.
We have pointless cafe tables on the street outside a pub that already has a sidewalk patio! ( the Quail). There are bust stops now that take over a lane( on Yonge and Macpherson) that are built up and with barricades. Buses on Yonge ? We have a subway for Yonge but it always breaks down
The cycle lanes are always empty except for electric bikes for food delivery. And they use the sidewalks if they can.
Iam a resident of 40+ years. The bike lobby are not local. Our whole city is now the worse gridlock in all North America.
