Bike lanes should be relegated to secondary and tertiary roadways in Mississauga (e.g. Bloor Street in Applewood Hills). Adding bike lanes will cause disastrous traffic for those trying to exit our bedroom communities. I have seen what buses and garbage truck do to halt traffic movement as single lane implementation would block traffic and reduce speeds when buses and garbage trucks are present.

Also for consideration, what would be the impact of emergency vehicles trying to get through major streets (like Bloor St) when only single lanes are available?

Lastly, where does the snow get plowed into during winter? Into the bicycle lanes that are not used during the season? All this while drivers are limited to single lanes?
