Finally a voice of reason on…

Finally a voice of reason on this matter! All of the people involved in the planning and installation of the bike lanes on Bloor in west Toronto should step down over this project. What an abhorrent waste of tax payer dollars.

They are rarely used except by motorcyclists, mopeds, e-bikes and e-scooters. They cause horrible gridlock, impede fire/police/ambulance trucks and create safety issues for those with mobility issues trying to park on Bloor. They’ve negatively impacted businesses along Bloor AND they’ve made it extremely confusing and dangerous for drivers to even see those using the dedicated lanes, when turning right onto any side street. Not to mention the diverted vehicle traffic onto side streets in the area, most of which have no sidewalks south of Bloor. So now you have frustrated drivers, racing through streets and sharing the road with children.

These bike lines were built right on top of a subway! This makes zero logical sense. If someone wants to use Bloor Street for their travel and they DON’T have a car or want to use a car, there is a subway system that was already built for this very purpose right below the bike lanes!
