The bike lanes on Yonge St and Bloor St. (and anywhere where a lane is removed to accommodate for a bike lane) are causing nothing but traffic problems. I live on Jackes Ave. and to turn either way on Yonge St. or to go straight through is very difficult and dangerous. The majority of the people using the bike lanes are the food delivery people. They all have electric scooters or e-bikes and they go very fast. I've witnessed 2 accidents. One was a scooter smashing into the door of a car as it slowly moved up to look for on-coming traffic before proceeding. The other was a person walking across a bike lane from a sidewalk on Yonge St. and the e-bike was going too fast, slammed on his brakes but still hit the pedestrian. The bike lanes must be removed, e-scooters should be regulated so that a motorcycle license and plates be required to use them, and then they cause regular car lanes instead of endangering themselves and others.
