I am totally opposed to getting rid of the existing bike lanes in Toronto.

1)The expansion of the bike lanes was a city of Toronto decision. The province should respect the decision of the city. The Province would go ballistic if the Federal Govt were to overturn a Province of Ontario decision.

2)I live in Bloor Village west. We are a community -- not an expressway for cars.

3)Since the bike lanes were installed in Bloor West Village, there has been a noticeable calming on the street. The sidewalks appear wider because of the bike lines. Parked cars are located further from the sidewalk.

4)Most of the traffic congestion on Bloor Street between the South Kingsway and Jane street is caused by:
A) The construction of new condos on the north side of Bloor, followed by another on the south side.

B) The closing of bus terminal at Bloor and Jane. Buses now stop on Jane St at Bloor to discharge all of the passengers. The buses then turn right onto Bloor Street to travel empty to the Old Mill Station where they turn around and then return empty to Jane and Bloor to pick up passengers going North on Jane. This will continue into 2025.

The PCs of Ontario will lose my vote if they move forward on this proposal.
