I have found the design of the bike lanes to be quite dangerous for cyclists. On Bloor, which is the route I am sometimes driving, you cannot see if a cyclist or - worse - an ebike barreling along at 30 km/hrs is approaching while you are trying to turn right onto a side street. Why? Because cars are parked inbetween the car lane and the bike lane. Add dusk and no lights on bikes, and you have an accident waiting to happen. I wholeheartedly support bike lanes in our city, but design them properly. Perhaps a compromise would be to install the new bike lanes on secondary routes, such as Annette and Dupont, as an east-west route. I think there is away to keep both cyclists and drivers happy. An grossly overlooked solution would be to pour much-needed funds into improving our subway system! The TTC is no longer a reliable, timely way to move through the city.
