I live just off Yonge street between Crescent and St Clair. I have mobility issues, so walking or biking is not an option for me. I have to drive. The current situation is ridiculous. It sometimes takes as long as 20 -30 minutes to go 8 blocks because of the bike lanes which are further exacerbated by patio dining. And talk about ugly! The city has taken a once vibrant street and turned it into an ugly joke. And what on earth is the purpose of the raised platform that takes up a lane at the north east corner of Yonge and Macpherson?
While in principle I do not agree with the province interfering in city affairs, I think in the situation it is justified. The city has totally bowed to the demands of the bike lobbyists. Yes there is a need for bike lanes but NOT on Toronto’s busiest streets.
