Thank you so much for…

Thank you so much for stepping in and addressing the bike lane situation particularily on Bloor St West. I live and work nearby the Kingsway and frequently go to Bloor West Village. The bike lanes have reduced parking, increased parking fees and I am sure have affected businesses in both of these communities. Also but maybe not as important is they are an eyesore to previously vibrant & interesting areas. Businesses pay a lot of taxes so reduction to access for even short term parking makes them suffer unnecessarily. I do not think that bike lanes help the environment. Cars now have to idol longer waiting for the street lights to turn green. Worse now I see people and kids on those electric skate boards using the bike lanes and they whip out of nowhere. They are silent and are putting themselves at risk of being hit. I also have seen joggers use the bike lanes. So many cyclists do not respect the red light rules and go through red lights. The number of cyclists are outnumbered by the thousands of cars. We as a city and province do have to look to the future in expanding traffic and commerce. But we need to do so with common sense.
Thank you for listening to my comments.
