My family and I use the Bloor St bike lane everyday to and from school and extra curricular activities. I can't even begin to imagine not having this protected bike way keeping us away from car traffic. There is no way that side streets would be able to replace this route as there is no continuous side street that is parallel the whole way. Plus most destinations are on Bloor St.

Before the bike lanes were installed, the other lane was just parked cars (just like how it's like on Queen or Dundas). So I don't understand how getting rid of this bike lane would magically free up a new lane of moving traffic. Even if it were, induced demand would very quickly clog up the street with traffic again.
