I totally support the removal of bike lanes on major Toronto arteries , specifically in Yonge street. The current situation is appalling with respect to traffic congestion - particularly in the stretch along Yonge between roxborough and st Clair. It will only get worse with the multitude of high density condos in Thai same stretch that the “city planners” have approved
This area of the city is a major residential area/neighbourhood with houses and side streets that are accessed by Yonge street. Most residents are older than 30 and have jobs and responsibilities, or children to drop to school ,etc, and many are older. bicycles are not a viable method of transportation for the majority of the local population. Left turns onto residential streets (for example like rowanwood ) can block traffic as the ridiculous bicycle lane has restricted Yonge street to one lane.
I live on Jackes Ave - a dead end street accessed only by Yonge st. It took me 45 minutes to drive home from macpherson ave (4 traffic lights and a few blocks away) at 3:30 in the afternoon - because of the single lane restriction on a major artery. Traffic wasn’t moving -there was no gridlock - drivers were polite and letting people turn - the problem is the lack of lanes to cater to the 4 cyclists I observed during the same period.
It’s time to end the madness.
