Please dedicate your efforts to providing more GO trains. The data does not support this decision.
Bike lanes move more people per hour than car lanes do. Ripping out bike lanes to make room for more cars will only have more cars stuck in traffic.
Before the bike lanes, Bloor was far less pleasant a place to be during rush hours when it was four driving lanes. It was legitimately uncomfortable to have cars racing through the Annex, Bloor West, etc.
Since the bike lanes, Bloor is a far more peaceful and enjoyable place to spend time. This is what we lose by prioritizing cars. Why should we make the place worse for the people that live there, only to give more road rage to the car drivers.
We're not in the 1970s anymore. Driving comfortably to work from the suburbs requires half the population to stop existing. Solutions of the past will not work today. Let's get 15 minute all day service on the GO lines instead. This will actually help and is backed up by data, not feelings.
