Mayoral candidate Brad Bradford says if he’s elected in October, one of his first acts will accomplish something Premier Doug Ford has been unable to thus far: rip out a controversial stretch of bike lanes along Bloor Street West in Etobicoke, which both of them insist slows traffic.
“In many respects, this is a part of town that has come to be defined by congestion,” said Bradford to reporters Tuesday morning at Bloor West and Islington Avenue. “I’ve talked to the servers who have watched the lunch rush get a little bit thinner month after month. I have seen fire trucks and the ambulances stuck, lights on, sirens blaring, not able to respond to the emergency they’re trying to get to.”
