I totally support this plan to make sure a proper analysis is done before expensive highly utilized infrastructure is destroy to support a small group of people.
A cost benefit analysis should be done whenever any project is implemented. It has to include primary and secondary costs & benefits. For any bike lane installation you have to look at:
COSTS
Primary - $X to install
Secondary - loss of parking revenue, extra bike lane cleaning/maintenance, loss of tax revenue from businesses impacted, increased traffic in local side streets(safety), increased traffic/gridlock(pollution,EMT vehicles,travel times)(29,000 vehicles/day)...
BENEFITS - Safer bike traffic(300 cyclists/day) on Bloor BUT less safe for pedestrians & cyclists on side streets with no sidewalks.
ALTERNATIVES
- there are many quiet side streets preferred by the local cyclists which is why the numbers are so low
on Bloor West. This was known before the project went forward.
It's a disgraceful waste of tax payers money at a time when the City is already short. The Councillors that approved this spending have no place in gov't.
