I strongly support Bill 212 and strongly support the removal of the bike lanes on Bloor Street West. They are a waste of the City of Toronto's tax money and have resulted in a much more dangerous situation for seniors. I live in an apartment looking down on Bloor Street West. For over a year now in all seasons, there have been hardly any bikes along Bloor Street West on the new bike paths. Meanwhile, I watch cars clogged up in the one lane that is left. The parking along Bloor Street West is very hazardous to seniors leaving or entering a car. The different colour boxes on the roads and the removal of right turn lanes has left a great deal of confusion and has made driving or walking more hazardous. Although it will cost a lot of money to remove the bike lanes, the result will be worth the cost. If the City of Toronto had bothered to listen to its residents, rather than to the bike lobby, it would never have spent money installing the dangerous (and nearly unused) bike lanes to begin with.
