I am a 74 yr. old senior living on Bloor Street. Premier Ford the street is so busy that there should
be NO Bike lanes at all on that stretch of Bloor Street from Etobicoke border to Cawthra Road and
beyond. City's proposal 6 the city was going to implement would have necessitated reducing busy
Bloor Street from 4 lanes to 2 lanes and a 3rd lane in the middle for turning. Traffic gridlock for sure
not to mention accidents from the 3rd lane being used by overtaking motorists.

The City's old Proposal 5 which they had rejected was for building bike lanes on the sidewalk and on
our driveways. This would have resulted in many speeding cyclists being hit and injured or killed as
residents on Bloor Street, mostly seniors's cars entered and exited their homes. The fatal accidents will happen on the driveways of more than 120 homes on Bloor Street.

Premier Ford please speak to Councillor Fonseca and Councillor Tedjko, both cycling enthusiasts that
NO BIKE LANES AT ALL BE ALLOWED ON BLOOR STREET. There is Cherry Hill Park and bike lanes could
be installed in the side street for cyclist enthusiasts to enjoy their bikes without being a danger to themselves first and to the seniors who have homes on Bloor Street all, homes have driveways exiting
directly into Bloor Street.
