Cyclist/driver/transit user here. Regarding the upgraded proposal - Removing bike lanes from Bloor/University/Yonge will likely result in cyclists still using these roads to commute. They will either take the lane (which could result in injury if drivers are not respectful), force cyclists onto sidewalks for their safety, put more ubers/taxis/cars on the road or further congest transit. If street parking is allowed, this will definitely not solve the issue of congestion while increasing risk of injury, death and liability.

Removing Yonge bike lanes is especially concerning because there is NO North/South alternative that covers such a large stretch. Before considering removal of the Yonge, a feasible alternative must be proposed and implemented first.
