Please remove bike lanes from major arterial roads in and out of the downtown core (i.e. Yonge St, Avenue Rd/University Ave). They are just used by food delivery companies using dangerously fast paced ebikes and scooters. They are also a dangerous blindspot when turning right off a street with one. When the weather is unfavourable for half the year in Toronto, these do not make sense to be permanent fixtures. The Yonge St bike lanes from Davisville through Summerhill are dangerous for emergency vehicles, especially for those needing emergency services in the landlocked residential areas only accessible from Yonge St. Avenue Rd at Davenport has also become a dangerous area to pass through in car or bike. The repainted lanes are not straight and many people, likely people unfamiliar with the area, do not stay in their lanes causing potential collisions. The curb lanes that used to go straight are no forced right turn lanes that have become lanes from aggressive drivers to speed through the intersection to cut back into the through lane. There are plenty of side streets cyclists can use.
