I have been living in the Annex for the last 15 years. I do pretty much all my shopping on Bloor and I remember the street before the bike lanes were installed. I don't even bike myself, but I'm begging the government: Please do not take away the bike lanes from my neighbourhood.
The stretch of Bloor near me has never worked better. The street feels so much safer with the bike lanes on it. This is a family neighbourhood, with lots of small children and elderly people walking around. The bike lanes help insulate the sidewalks they use from cars, and the bits of curb separating the lanes make it easier to cross the street safely.
There are also a ton of local restaurants in the area who rely on cyclists to deliver their food. Giving those delivery drivers a dedicated lane means they're not blocking up a lane of car traffic or driving down the sidewalk.
Please respect our neighbourhood and leave our main street alone. The bike lanes work and we want to keep them.
