Hello,
Please keep the bike lanes in Toronto.
I live near Bloor West and the bike lanes have been helpful in many ways.
Here’s why:
It has slowed vehicle speed on Bloor which is a good thing because cars were travelling 70km/hr regularly. Even walking on the sidewalk seemed unsafe. Walking to Islington subway station is now relatively pleasant.
Walking to shops on The Kingsway has a village feel similar to Bloor West Village. This is positive as I spend more time and money in the neighbourhood. From my perspective, it is helping local businesses thrive.
I also drive and use Dundas W when needing to head eastbound
I use the subway rather than drive when heading eastbound on Bloor
I ride my bike and now use the lanes with confidence. I would never ride my bike on Bloor without dedicated lanes.
I’m not anti-car but we have too many on Bloor Street - as per above, there are viable options
Sincerely,
B/
