Comment
Synopsis:
This is a comment from a commuter of 15 years within the same area with the same commute purely by bike or walking.
My key points that are expanded further in the attached PDF:
• When Bloor Street West had 2 lanes during rush hour, there was no alleviation of traffic, it only got worse.
• The side street bike lane proposal would be impossible to implement as most east-west side streets do not cross and form any crossroads with any major north-south street such as Dufferin and only serve to dump traffic onto these main streets.
• Alternative routes need to be encouraged for streets designed from the get go to serve commuting traffic in the east-west direction such as Dupont.
• Lack of traffic enforcement is a key factor in the gridlock issues that Toronto faces.
