As a resident of the Bloor…

As a resident of the Bloor west area, I am thrilled that sanity has prevailed and bike lanes installed on one of the busiest streets in the city - will finally be removed!

Thank you Doug, Christine Hogarth and Stephen Holyday to fight on behalf of Etobicoke's constituents!

Our voice was NOT heard with unilateral decisions by City Councilors preaching from their ivory towers to install bike lanes in neighborhoods that the DO NOT live in.

We are not a mild climate city - we are not Amsterdam, Vancouver or some warm European city where cycling can be done 11 to 12 months of the year. At best, the bike lanes are sparsely used in the middle of summer. From November through April, you will hardly see more than a cyclist an hour on Bloor street - while you see cars bumper to bumper waiting for a single car to turn right.

Instead you have created even less safe neighborhoods as cars weave through small side streets to avoid the congested ones. The removal of these lanes will finally provide the residents in the area their evenings back spending more time with family instead of sitting idly in traffic.

Thank you!
