I have boys 4,6 and 8 years old. We enjoy riding down to the Bloor bike lanes to visit the bakeries, trading card shops and grocery stores on the weekends.
This type of infrastructure is beneficial to everyone (excluding perhaps drivers needing to get somewhere a few minutes faster in their cars).
The bike lanes also provide a buffer from the sidewalk to the cars which makes walking along Bloor street more pleasant.
By the time my boys will be old enough to be independent, the population growth will mean these roads will be slower and even more frustrating to navigate, due to more cars on the road. It will be comforting to know they can take their bikes on protected bike lanes to their destinations and back.
Let's start thinking about the future, instead of what we used to have.
