Bike lanes in Toronto need to be done better. What exists now is very bad for everyone, even the bikers. There is no way to make biking perfectly safe on major routes. Bike lanes should be on secondary roads, like Harbord, where they work okay. Bike lanes should not be a way of controlling the speed of traffic. Bike lanes on Bloor make parking very dangerous on Bloor, where you have to open your door right into traffic.
The provincial government is doing the right thing. Stop putting in bike lanes where they are not used, and clog traffic. If possible, remove bike lanes from Bloor Yonge and University.
The city is just lying about the cost. The cost is just for salaries that are already being paid. That money is spent one way or another. And it's stupid to say that taking the lanes out will cost more than putting them in. They had to buy all that stuff in the first place, so obviously the installing costs would be higher than the removal costs. And they won't have to pay upkeep.
Good work, provincial government.
