It’s clear that vulnerable road users, whose safety should be prioritize, isn’t! Question for @TPSMyronDemkiw Why are you unwilling to have this behaviour changed? It’s disgusting that you haven’t addressed this action with @TorontoPolice . Cc: @MayorOliviaChow #BikeTO

Bloor Street is supposedly one of Canada’s biggest urban thoroughfares — yet it’s become a one lane, one direction street that comes to a halt when a single vehicle waits to turn right. All thanks to poor planning, little coordination and excessive bike lanes.
