I was very happy to hear…

I was very happy to hear that Ford has plans to remove the bike lanes on Bloor (and Yonge and University).

I live in the area of Bloor and Islington....and I can tell you from first-hand experience that A) they are not being used anywhere near to capacity, and that B) the intersection is much more dangerous now that people can't clear the intersection.

The bike lane on the northeast corner of the intersection acts as a funnel.....taking two eastbound lanes, and one right-hand turn lane....and then trying to squeeze all those cars into a single lane. Clearly these bike lanes were installed from an ideological perspective, and have nothing to do with people actually being able to move around in a quick and safe manner.

The implementation of the bike lanes on Bloor is terrible.....and it should never have been put in place. Arterial roads are not helped with 50% of the road surface is assigned to a miniscule group of users. Put the bike lanes on secondary roads....not a major through fare.
