Bogus bike lanes on Bloor Street West need to go. NOBODY is using them and it's more dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. terrible idea, everyone gets held up in single lane traffic, a total disservice

Put bike lanes on secondary streets - will be safer and keep main streets free for cars which the majority of people use.

Between condos construction cafe to bike lanes that are only used a few months out of the year - cyclists don’t use them anyway they weave in and out of traffic and cause issues non stop. Get rid of pointless bike lanes as well as cafe to. Stop adding condos we can’t handle the closed roads - people drive let them drive!!!!

Bluer Street is especially way too congested I don’t believe a feasibility study has been done or released about the environmental impact of the bicycle lanes which are mostly empty and causing traffic to sit and idle for many minutes at a time now I hear you are planning to extend bike lanes to Kipling. This is a mistake.

We do not want cyclists to be jeopardized on heavy traffic roads and this lane system is a nightmare for snow cleaning and maintenance and is a bottleneck for traffic.

I support bike lanes in general, but putting on too many streets is wrong.

I'm ALL FOR CARS why do we let little tiny dinky bikes BOSS around my big SUV that I require to drive 2 blocks ALSO can we talk about why there's no parking anywhere?? Pave over the danforth and while we're at it, let's widen yonge street to 5 lanes each way. Sure some storefronts get in the way but that's progress baby!! We can get some developers in to build nice affordable million dollar condos to replace any small businesses that stand in the way! If I can't drive because a bike and pedestrians get in the way, then I say move or I'll hit them!

I agree that bike lanes are useful, but in downtown Toronto, there are barely enough roads for cars to get around, so I agree that a rethink is required for our busiest streets

Enough on Yonge street. So much retail being impacted. Avenue Rd from St. Clair to Davenport, little or no retail.

The Bloor Street West extension project will create havoc along Bloor at all times during the day, including rush hour, emergencies, deliveries, subway shuttle services, Gardiner closures, etc.

Fantastic news that people are fed up with the bike lane agenda. The city won’t listen to people’s concerns cause they’re so bent on putting these bike lanes everywhere. I’m not against cyclists. I have done a lot of cycling in this city.

The bike lanes have not been well thought out.
When and Yonge and Bloor streets are clogged with cars and you see a couple bikes go by every few minutes then this is not a good idea

Single lanes for drivers on main arteries that are already overwhelmed by construction are making this city completely unlivable. Happy to reconsider once the Ontario Line is running and commuters have another option!

Bike lanes on busy streets with many medical offices (Yonge south of St Clair to Bloor) makes the city unsafe for seniors and blocks emergency vehicle access. More intelligence is needed on the decisions of where to locate bike lanes.

Bike lanes have been forced into a city that did not plan for it. They must be eliminated on major ateries. I live in the Beaches area and getting downtown has been choked by lanes on Eastern, Dundas, Gerrard, Danforth and Woodbine. That, coupled with the closing of the Gardiner on/off ramp has effectively cut off the East End of Toronto.
