THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK…

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! It is absolutely evident that these bike lanes have caused a lot of grid lock in the city, and it's a joke to sit in grid lock only to see the bike lanes completely empty!

I am 45 years old, born in downtown Toronto, now living in south Etobicoke. I have been biking since kindergarten, I have not once had an accident or any interaction while respectfully sharing the road with cars. Bloor street was much safer to ride along BEFORE the bike lanes were installed.

Also to note that in the Queen/Lansdowne intersection, this past summer/early fall 2 way roads on the residential streets around Parkdale Public School have turned to a single 1-way route for more empty, unused bike lanes. This has also created ridiculous grid lock at the Queen/Lansdowne intersection.

***On October 31st CP24 was showing an aerial view of one of the congested routes with bike lanes. They were following a cyclist who made a dangerous move of going around a car already in the middle of a right turn well before the cyclist was at the intersection. I'm flabbergasted that the media doesn't educate the public on how to safely bike on city streets, let alone not indicate that the cyclist made an illegal traffic move. I clearly remember learning bicycle safety in elementary school. I'm wondering if the ministry of Education could put bicycle safety back into the elementary curriculum since cycling is such an important issue to the city of Toronto.
