I feel there is no need for…

I feel there is no need for a bike lane along Bloor St. west of Runnymede Rd.
It's a main artery that can be avoided by cyclists by using side roads or existing trails. I have traveled on my bike from Dixon Rd. / Scarlett Rd. area for the past 3 summers to High Park. on a regular basis. I use the Humber River Trail until Warren Park and then go through side streets to Annette St. From here I then go south on High Park Ave until I reach the park. No need to use Bloor St., use side streets and trails.
Oh, and High Park is now a mess with Bikes zipping around everywhere, on the roads, on walking trails and on grass. It was safer with cars, you knew a car would only be on the road. They are easy to see and hear and they all have horns that are used.

Our city councilors are too preoccupied with making Toronto a cycling heaven. Do they expect me to go grocery shopping, go to work at city hall or go to the Eaton Centre on a bicycle?
We are not a European city. Scarborough, North York and Etobicoke were originally suburbs and designed for using cars as transportation. If you want to go downtown, instead of cycling ......use the subway!
