I have lived in the downtown…

I have lived in the downtown core of Toronto since 2001 and my transportation has been a split between driving and TTC. The intensification of gridlock has everything to do with rapid increase to population density due to huge condo towers with no infrastructure adjustment to support the influx of residents and their vehicles.
My commute to work includes main streets with bike lanes and without. In the past 5 years, Bloor St West has actually moved quicker and had less traffic as I really do think drivers have switched to bikes on that route. The other street I take is college west of Ossington and it is a disaster every day all day.
The construction to remove the bike lanes will clog up traffic more - PLEASE don’t add more construction to the city! It’s already out of control.
The FIX is to get all departments communicating so that a road is only dug up once (fix streetcar tracks at the same time as replacing old pipes - not one year apart!) AND invest in better timed stop lights. Drive west on College between Dovercourt and Dufferin at 8:45am and you’ll see the problem clear as day.
