Bloor Street is never going…

Bloor Street is never going to be a free-flowing traffic artery. It never was. Bike lanes keep me safe. As a cyclist and actual citizen of this city, I have a right to get downtown or to my place of work safely! The Ontario Government needs to stop playing Mayor of Toronto and focus on more pressing provincial matters like crumbling school infrastructure and making it easier to find a doctor. It's clear Ford and his government rely on questionable experts (if any at all) when their other big idea is a proposal for an underground tunnel beneath the 401. So pardon me for questioning their "evidence" on how ripping up bike lines will benefit anyone.

It takes very little time to find studies from around the world that show how bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions and benefit local businesses. It's called Induced Demand. Look it up. (See Link)

I wish this government would subscribe to the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality - instead of the "it works fine, let's break it' one.
