It is complete madness to remove bike lanes on Bloor Street or anywhere else in this city. As both a cyclist and a driver I have noticed ZERO difference in commute times as a driver on streets with bike lanes and as a cyclist I can move around faster and more safely.
Gridlock occurs on the 401 and Gardiner and just about any road WITHOUT bike lanes (and is usually due to conveys of transport trucks or poorly planned construction - like when they block lanes with cones for NO REASON).
Bike lanes are the least of our worries in this city. As a cyclist I feel safer using bike lanes and will leave my car at home often when I'm going some place accessible by a bike lane - taking a car - my car -off the road.
When you build a bike lane it fills up with bikes.
With the e-scooter revolution and more and more people buying those we need more bike lanes not fewer!
Many of those people on bikes are not driving and would be driving if they couldn't safely use their bikes.
Bike lanes take cars off the road!
Spend our tax dollars on co-ordinating construction in this city or on forcing trucks to use the 407 or on cops to stop people from blocking the box or parking wherever they want at rush hour and leave bikes and bike lanes alone.
