I would also like to highlight the need to remove new street parking that was established when lanes were removed and bike lanes created particularly on Bloor St and Yonge St. Parking shortage is another city issue resulting from new developments without public or owner parking as well as building on green p lots. Putting in one to five spots in areas of Bloor St and Yonge St does not solve the lack of infrastructure misaligned with the population growth/influx in Toronto.
Furthermore, electric motorbikes, scooters etc are not regulated or held accountable for traffic violations along arterial roads.
I have heard arguments regarding not being able to remove bike lanes because of the cost of putting them in. This is ridiculous and not a reason to keep bike lines creating all this congestion on arterial roads but also neighbourhood side streets which are being used as cut through solutions.
Lastly, money should be spent on public transportation accessibility, safety and efficiency. Part of this issue is that the TTC has become a makeshift homeless shelter for the unhoused. This is not OK for anyone. The city of Toronto is doing a terrible job managing very serious and significant issues for human dignity, security, safety and mobility.
