Hey there!

I use Toronto’s bike share program to bike from Junction Triangle to Queen/Spadina area for work frequently. Bloor, by nature of its lanes, has always felt like the safest stretch of my trip. I’ve tried other roads Eastward, and they had less protected bike lanes. This work will block major traffic on Bloor for an unknown period of time, hurting local businesses, and will likely endanger cyclists forced to use less protected bike lanes.

It also feels like an overreach for provincial government to be forcing municipal hands on municipal infrastructure issues. I know it’s coming from good intention, but I would encourage consideration of alternate options.

Best,
