On Danforth ave west of Victoria park, they removed a bike lane and increased the sidewalk for pedestrians at the expense of more congestion and limited to no throughway of car vehicle traffic especially during rush hour. they have incorporated many parking lots on the sides of the roads, but cars cannot even access them in a timely manner due to the increased congestion which makes those lots almost redundant. It seems like there is poor usage of the corridor and it can be better utilized. I don't think the answer is simply ripping up the bike lanes for the sake of doing it but, establishing a better system to fit more lanes of vehicle traffic, maybe less street parking with more off-street parking, extending the sidewalks a little further to accommodate lanes on the sidewalk. there is room for innovation , but all stake holders need to be accommodated, not just bikes.
