This is not a practical solution. Unfortunately we live in Canada and the bike lanes that you’ve added to Yonge Street have caused huge problems for drivers an additional congestion.

you are killing business along these routes, where I used to shop locally, can't now, no parking. Bike lanes off major streets.

Bike lanes are a disaster for the environment and they discriminate against the elderly, the disabled and people with children! End the tyranny of the minority!

Creates more pollution with traffic jams.
Holds up emergency vehicles.
Cyclists don’t obey road signs or rules

This is a simple case of the tail wagging the dog. The needs businesses, the elderly and the disabled, not to mention, basic traffic flow have taken a backseat to the needs of one small but loud group. They’ve hijacked our city and we want it back.

Enough. The city isn't moving anywhere. Traffic jams everywhere. Has to stop

Bike lanes have not been properly planned. Same for the Red Lanes for buses only, Why can't there be HOV lanes, instead of buses only. Please see Morningside Avenue, Scarborough: an entire lane was painted Red, but there are buses very infrequently. Meanwhile, the one lane left for vehicles are congested and traffic backs up for kilometers.

I understand there is a mandate for bike lanes, I feel they are being implemented in a way that is hurting Toronto as a whole.

Eglinton between Spadina and Yonge and beyond are a mess. There's a fire station and an ambulance station at Chaplin Cres. How are these essential services supposed to answer emergency calls with fewer lanes to get through.

Bike lanes may be a good idea for streets like Harbord. But for streets like Bloor they are nothing but a brain dead idea. If cyclists want bike lanes, they should pay for them. And so you know. I am one and ride all year.

All the bike lanes on major streets need to be removed immediately. Instead reroute them onto neighbourhood streets with calming measures to ensure the safety of the community. This would reduce emissions, because idoling in traffic is not good for the environment

Bicyclists represent a tiny fraction of vehicle traffic. Cars are particularly needed as the age of Torontonians advances, and more rely on private transportation. Further, our climate is not conducive to outings on bicycles in all weather by all age groups, family outings, care-givers taking people to social and medical appointments, businesses which need parking spaces, emergency vehicles blocked on one-lane streets like Eglinton. The city has been killing business and is creating a situation in which people are no longer willing to venture downtown. This is the hollowing out of a once vibrant core -- ushering in downscale conditions. We are already experiencing early stages of this with the drugs, guns, beggars, ranters, on the downtown streets.

Extending the bike lanes on Bloor West is an absolutely horrible idea. Doesn't consider the ratio of car commuters to Cyclists. Not to mention the impact on Businesses that we need to support!

I live right at that intersection in the picture. The traffic backup and resulting air pollution is disgusting. Yonge Street is backed up for miles. Really disturbing

I live at yonge/st clair. I see very few bikes to warrant a dedicated bike lane on Yonge street. It makes no sense.
No bike lanes where there are subways.
No bike lanes on Bloor, University, or Yonge.
