I live on Indian Grove,…

I live on Indian Grove, right near Keele and Bloor. I regularly travel along Bloor by car, walking, cycling and using the subway. I would ask that you please not remove the Bloor St bike lane between Jane and the Don Valley Parkway. I regularly take my children on the back of my bike in the bike lane to their various after school activities in the Annex. I would not be able to do this without the bike lane as the street would not be safe to travel on with my kids. My experience driving on this section of Bloor is that the traffic generally moves fairly well, even during rush hour, and so I don't really see the bike line as much of an impediment when driving.

I have no issues if you want to remove the bike lane west of Jane as that section does not seem very useful or well travelled. I also agree that the University bike lanes should be removed and am ambivalent about the Yonge St ones. There is no real east-west alternative to Bloor that allows one to gets across the City in a separated bike line and it would be devastating to lose it and drastically impact my ability to travel with my children by bike. Thank you for your consideration of this comment.
