Deb HuttonHOST
So 25 years ago, when I say that for 9-11, what comes to mind for you?
Richard CrouseGUEST
The film festival, first and foremost, I was deep into covering the film festival and I was walking down Bloor Street on the way to the Intercontinental Hotel where we all used to be based out of.
Richard CrouseGUEST
And so there's kind of an important detail in this story.
Richard CrouseGUEST
because all the media outlets would rent hotel suites in there and we would set up studios and we would do interview after interview after interview.
Alexis D'SouzaHOST
I'll try it and I'll report back and see what I can do.
Alex CyrHOST
Are you going to try this for the mile, the Bloor Street mile? The mile is almost too short.
Alexis D'SouzaHOST
That's too short.
Alexis D'SouzaHOST
I think I need to do another time trial before the 5K race.
Amanda PfefferHOST
If they take out these particular lanes, is there something that is keeping you up at night if you cycle through that area?
KateAUDIENCE
Yeah, I think the misconception that there are alternative routes on side streets that can replace, in particular in my instance, the travel across the city along Bloor Street.
KateAUDIENCE
We have the Don Valley, and then on the west end we have the Humber.
KateAUDIENCE
There are only so many roads that go over those ravines.
Amanda PfefferHOST
Thanks for chatting.
Amanda PfefferHOST
Yeah, take care.
Amanda PfefferHOST
And let's go to Stan, who's on Bloor Street in Toronto.
Amanda PfefferHOST
Are you on Bloor Street? You're a biker?
JeanetteHOST
So Sadie's was definitely like an entryway into easing me out of being sort of like a reluctant vegetarian to like all in vegetarian, that one and then Juice for Life by Fresh.
JeanetteHOST
On Bloor Street, like the original fresh location was also a big one because I was also doing volunteer work on the U of T campus.
JeanetteHOST
So that was one that I was in community radio at the time.
JeanetteHOST
So there were obviously a lot of people in community radio that were vegetarian and vegan.
Michelle JagroopGUEST
I was in Toronto.
Michelle JagroopGUEST
I was at a Japanese restaurant, Flipstar, Bloor Street.
Rachael NemethHOST
What are you going back to basics on personally right now?
Michelle JagroopGUEST
I think slowing down to really think about like the people piece behind everything that we have going on.
Patrice BarnesPANELIST
Like, this has not been a secret issue for a long time.
Patrice BarnesPANELIST
So knowing how the province feel, I'm wondering why it wasn't a discussion that was brought to the table before it went to court, before it went to this point, right? So now that the city have decided, okay, we recognize that this 1.5-kilometer stretch on Bloor Street needs to be changed, why are we now discussing it after we've gone through all this?
John MooreHOST
If this
Patrice BarnesPANELIST
could have been done properly in the first place.
Stephen HolydayGUEST
As soon as something goes wrong, we have limited east-west routes.
Stephen HolydayGUEST
That's one of the big fights that we have with respect to Etobicoke and the Gardiner Expressway and Bloor Street and so on because The choices are limited if you want to try to cross the city.
Stephen HolydayGUEST
But as soon as one of those major arteries is plugged off for some reason, you know, like a special event, you feel the impact over and over again on all the secondary streets that are run parallel to it.
Greg BradyHOST
You're one of the most notable counselors in terms of attempting to rein in spending.
John BurnsideGUEST
If they wanted to put jets at the airport, you can agree or disagree with jets at Billy Bishop, but the argument can be made there's a regional and a provincial interest.
John BurnsideGUEST
That same argument can't be made on Bloor Street.
John BurnsideGUEST
And that's where I sort of draw the line.
John BurnsideGUEST
Whether I like bike lanes or not, I think that there needs to be that separation.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
Ford government looking for contractors to remove more than 19 kilometers of designated space.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
Premier Doug Ford and his government have moved one step closer to removing bike lanes from downtown Toronto streets, including along Bloor Street, University Avenue, and Yonge Street.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
Following a victory at the appeal court last month, the Ford government issued a request for proposals.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
RFP on Tuesday, a call for contractors to bid on the removal or reconfiguration of more than 19 kilometers of protected bike lanes along the city's main arterial streets, according to a government news release.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
We're not wasting any time or moving fast starting this week to hire contractors.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
so we can be removing and reconfiguring on several of Toronto's busiest streets, Ford said.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
The RFP will include the removal of bike lanes and the restoration of a lane of traffic on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, University Avenue, Queen's Park Crescent and Avenue Road, the government said.
ClaudiaNARRATOR
The province is also immediately working to restore a lane of traffic on Bloor Street West in Etobicoke on a 600-meter stretch of road near Clissold Road.
Greg BradyHOST
So there's going to be some just great reconfiguration on some of the busiest roads in the city of Toronto.
Greg BradyHOST
Blur Street, Yonge Street, University, where right in front of Hospital Row, there's great debate.
Greg BradyHOST
I know hospital workers that ride their bikes.
Greg BradyHOST
They don't want these lanes out.
