I oppose this proposal. My children rely on the Bloor Street bike lane to commute to school. Without it, their safety will be compromised. College Street is not a viable alternative due to streetcar tracks and parking, and there are no other east-west through streets in this area.

I may consider supporting this if there were recent studies showing how this would significantly improve commute-times. According to the engineers I’ve consulted, mass transit is the only viable solution for cities the size of Toronto. Even if removing the bike lane improved the flow of cars into the city, it would only worsen congestion in the downtown core.
