As a resident of Bloor West…

As a resident of Bloor West Village and avid cyclist, I have enjoyed the addition of the bike lanes along Bloor in the West End. However, there is ZERO need for bike lanes from South Kingsway/Jane, west to Islington (and beyond). The usage of those bike lanes is vanishingly small. The vehicle congestion, however, is unfathomably bad. Further, the streets that serve as “escape routes” from that congestion have become much more heavily trafficked, with egregious speeding. Sadly, Council Perks and Mayor Chow have negligently ignored our repeated exhortations to examine the impact of these bikes lanes. Thank you for this opportunity.
