The quicker you remove bike lanes from major roads the better. Bloor street West has become a nightmare, whereby cyclists do not obey the rules of the road. I’ve almost been knocked down twice as they do not stop for pedestrians. Turning right is a nightmare whereby for a second at a certain angle you cannot see them coming. Plus instead of stopping for the car they speed up trying to beat you possibly causing a future accident.
They should be regulated to side roads. It has slowed traffic down terribly. As an example from Royal York station to the Bloor Lights what once took only 5-10 minute wait has now turned into a 20-25 minute backup.
Cutting out two lanes of traffic obviously is causing terrible gridlock. Instead of putting flower boxes in the middle of the road for gods sake remove the bike lanes.
Also emergency vehicles have a tough time reaching there destination possibly causing death in the future.
