The bike lanes on Bloor Street are a disaster. They have created traffic not to mention a hazard and safety issue for emergency vehicles. I have been stuck in traffic with no one using the bike lanes and lineup of cars trying to navigate through the city. I have also witnessed firetrucks trying to move on Bloor st and get stuck in traffic because there’s nowhere for cars to move over. Bloor and Royal York area.
In addition to safety and traffic jams. The onus falls on the vehicle operators that are making a right turn to avoid the bikes that seem to think they can plow through intersections without slowing down to make sure drivers see them.
If they want to share the roadway they should have plates for identification and insuranced for any damage they may cause.
I have witnessed cyclists hitting cars side mirrors because they felt like the driver did something wrong. No recourse to the driver.
Move bike lanes to secondary roadways where it’s safer for all.
Thank you
