City did not seem to take into account the way streets are actually used by the residents/businesses. City does not seem to have done thorough assessments or taken into account comments by residents who will be impacted daily.

Too much consideration given to cyclists considering how the proportion of the population they constitute.

Bike infrastructure is needed but not at cost of removing existing car lanes and snarling the traffic.

Bike lines have created more gridlock and added to idling times, causing even more pollution. Ever since these bike lanes were installed my comute times have double and thats just inside the city. To travel 10 KM takes over 45 minutes now, my line of work leaves me no choice that to drive a motor vehicles.
During winter these bike lanes are always empty, when more road space is needed due to Snow.
Improve the public transit and keep the bike lanes to the side streets where there is less motor vehicle traffic and safer to bike on.

The lanes have killed the city.
I saw an ambulance get stuck because of one those elevated bike lanes.
The lanes should only be on secondary routes.

Thank you for your relentless efforts. Seeing an ambulance manage to maneuvre University Ave. hospital zone says it all. Nowhere for cars to get out of the way. Scary!

Bike lane are very dangerous to pedestrians, especially E bikes. There should be NO bike lanes on ANY main streets.

Bike lanes cause congestion slow down emergency vehicles and cause disruption on side streets when angry motorists pull off main arteries. Bikes should also be licenced so we know the riders know the rules of the road and are identifiable

I'm a senior who would never be able to ride a bike & lives in peril of being killed by one. They should not be on major roads & cyclists should have to have a license. They should be charged for going through red lights.

I believe bikes and cars should share our roads. I also want safety for cyclists and drivers. As both a driver and a cyclist - cyclists are in danger of having cars turning right and not seeing them. So being killed by a car and killing someone unintentionally with your car are both life ending. I have lived in the city for over 40 years and have ridden a bike all this time and as a young person I rode my bike with no worries of someone seeing me - basically I rode my bike in harmony with the traffic.
