I agree with the removal of Bike lanes on Bloor west. We went from from no traffic in the corridor between Islington Ave and Runnymede RD to having downtown traffic where no existed before. I run everyday down Bloor from Islington Ave to Prince Edward Rd. I use the bike lane to run as there nearly zero bikes through out the day and during winters it is completely empty. I am not against the bike lanes, but putting on Bloor was wrong decision as it the major artery street that leads to QEW and Gardner Expressway. It was so badly planned that I had to help an old lady get out of here car because they placed the parking lanes so close to live lane that opening a car door fully is next to impossible and old people are afraid to open them that this old lady I helped was screaming for help to get out. Also, they made the horrible boxes to make turns. AN example is at the Old Mill road and Bloor junction. Cars wanting to make a right turn at the Kingsway have to not only make a 180 degree turn, but must navigate a 90 degree turn merge on to Bloor. The safest way is to sit in the on coming lane and have more of a 45 degree turn. They have crated such unsafe roads around hear it crazy and with all suggestion they have ignored. Placing a single 2 way bike lane on Dundas street would have been the best idea as you have the railroad to the north of Dundas, few business and fewer residential building and majority of 3 way stop lights vs 4 ways on Bloor. I really hope you pull these lanes out ASAP as we were lucky the 1st year with little to no snow, once ice and snow do fall there will be many accidents. They say its only increase in traffic during rush hour, but the busiest times have been on the weekend. So, please remove them and force city to come up with a real plan not this high school project plan they came up with. Who ever designed these bikes lanes should be fired and never hired again. Delays sometime a huge. It took me 18min to go from Old mill RD which I live on to my son's mother who live on Bloor and Riverside drive and that is just not acceptable.
