Our apartment overlooks…

Our apartment overlooks Bloor Street at the Humber River so we get to see the gridlock caused by the bicycle lanes. During the morning rush "hour" (8 AM through 9:30 AM) and the evening rush hour (3:30 through 6:30 PM) the traffic is solid across the Humber bridge and moving very slowly. At any time of day our driving time has doubled in either direction. And yet during these periods we see only a few bicycles going in either direction. We have also seen ambulances and fire trucks having difficulty making headway because the lanes are not wide enough. And what happens when it snows? Where does the snow go - on the side walks? Who is bicycling in the winter anyway. This was a badly thought-out decision that has cost tax payers a fortune. A total waste of time and money to create a huge inconvenience for the majority of people in our community.
