I agree with removing bike lanes on major thoroughfares. In particular the Yonge St ones. How are emergency vehicles to get by when there is only one lane of traffic each way. Don’t whatever you do have an emergency during rush hour!! Between development and the removal of traffic lanes it is very difficult to get around the city if you are a senior citizen. What percentage of the population is over 60?
As an aside I think closing the Bayview extension to north bound traffic south of River St was a big mistake. That street is the perfect north south thoroughfare for people to get from uptown to downtown without impeding anything as there is no retail and really no pedestrians. Really you should be able to etch out a bit more space to have bike lanes without having to remove a lane of traffic.
