I live in the area and travel on Bloor frequently. I fully support the removal of the bike lanes. Not only are they seldom used but it makes no sense to severely negatively impact the 99%+ of the population that travels by car and bus, just to make it easier for the less than 1% of the population that would like to travel by bike...and at that, even their use would be limited to only better weather days and probably VERY low usage in the winter. Encouraging healthier, safer and more environmental travel is a great idea on its face, but crippling vehicular travel and essentially grinding it to a halt can't be the only and better choice. Higher level oversight (Provincial) sounds like it might allow cooler heads to prevail and drive a better solution that BALANCES the needs of ALL, instead of sacrificing the needs of the many in order to satisfy the needs of the few (or the one).
