A city staff report released last month found the pilot project met its key objectives and recommended it be kept. The Bloor bike lanes are already the second-most travelled cycling facilities in the city, behind only the Richmond-Adelaide separated lanes. Roughly 5,220 riders used the Bloor lanes on an average weekday, according to city counts, which represents an increase of 56 per cent compared to before the lanes went in. Local business associations supported the bike lanes and the city’s economic impact study found the project didn’t have a detrimental effect on retailers. City staff were already planning to make tweaks to the bike lanes.
