My experience Sunday…

My experience Sunday November 10. I drove along Bloor from High Park to Islington around 12:30PM. and returned around 7:15PM. It was light rain both times. Subway was closed, busses on Bloor. Traffic was backed up eastbound from Jane to Aberfoyle. Sitting idling. On my way back I was caught in it. Both times; No cyclists. None. Zero. Zilch. If we had another lane, like previously, we could have had more room to maneuvre around the busses and those waiting to make a right onto South Kingsway to get to the Gardiner. No cyclists would be affected because there were none. So I would say bike lanes contribute to congestion, and going back to two car lanes would help alleviate congestion. PS it is not unusual to see that lane backed up to Aberfoyle.
