Toronto's newest bike lanes have stirred up anger among the car-dependent residents of Etobicoke, claiming that these pedal-powered routes are impeding their ability to hurtle around the city in their vehicles.
"We, the residents of Etobicoke, express our reservations about the newly introduced bike lanes on Bloor St. Concerns arise from potentially inaccurate bike usage data from the High Park counter, noticeable congestion due to lane reductions, decreased business footfall, potential delays for emergency vehicles, and the observed scarcity of cyclists," the petition argues.
The very next concern listed is"scarce cyclist usage," citing anecdotal evidence claiming that"Many residents and businesses along Bloor St. have observed a limited number of cyclists using the designated lanes." I say YES to bike lanes. We are in a climate crisis, efforts to reduce emissions by giving people separated bike lanes, encourages people to drive less. That has my support.Meanwhile, cyclists are reacting to documented evidence that shows motorists completely disregarding the new bike lanes and illegally treating them like parking lots.
He notes that dissent has emerged"while the paint isn't even dry on these bike lanes. To make determinations at this juncture is premature, revisionist, and flawed."
