Too bad the city ruined traffic flow on Bloor St with those damned bike lanes. This video is great because it shows how well traffic moved before they were installed...
So let's make traffic even worse by taking away one lane in both directions? It's also been devastating for businesses in the area due to a loss of 70% street parking. torontosun.com/2017/09/30/koreatown-shops-hurt-by-bike-lanes/wcm/ae587d4f-7f0b-4f7b-8cce-341b8ac7c9b4
Instead of reading an article from a writer that's known for opposing the Bike Lanes(, why don't you read the actual economic study made by TCAT, UofT and the city? www.tcat.ca/knowledge-centre/economic-impact-study-of-bike-lanes-in-torontos-bloor-annex-and-korea-town-neighbourhoods/ "Customer Frequency and Vacancy Rates: - After accounting for other contributing factors such as age, gender and proximity, visitors reported coming to Bloor three days more per month after the bike lane was installed, while on Danforth visit frequency was unchanged. - People who arrived on foot or on bike visited Bloor the most often, and people who drove or took transit visited nearly four days less per month. - Vacancy rates held steady at 6% in Bloor Annex and Korea Town. On Danforth, they declined from 10% to 7%." Vacancies are ~ the same in Korea Town while there's a 3% decrease on Danforth Av. It's worse for merchants however because at least 40% of shop/merchant owners use a vehicle when driving on Bloor St. As for sales, the study even says that they're getting data from Moneris and will be released in early 2018, so we'll see what the *actual* impact the Bloor Bike lanes. "Independent sales data from third party payment platforms, such as Visa, Moneris or Apple Pay, would help to provide a fuller picture of sales trends, and the City is currently working to attain this type of data. The City may also wish to investigate other sources of data which were not yet available at the time of this study’s publication, for example the Centre for the Study of Commercial Activity’s Toronto database and the Planning Division’s Toronto Employment Survey. These sources could be used to explore shifts in retail composition and sizes of business, in addition to vacancies. Both of these datasets should be available in early 2018." I get it, if you don't like the bike lanes because of reduced traffic flow & annoying parking (which is true, it's even shown in the study) but blaming the bike lanes for poor sales when official sales data wasn't even released (and there could be other reasons as to why a shop is losing sales) isn't a fair judgement.

208$ per square foot annually? That dont make sense haha if it was a 500square foot apt it would be 9000 a month uh no?
That is for street level retail space not apartments.
Honest ed is long gone. Sigh
Позорище! Дорог не ровные. В Киеве и то лучше

Toronto is not as beautiful as Vancouver.
Agreed, Vancouver, Calgary, Victoria all have something that Toronto lacks: Scenery.
We have a lake that the entire city shits in.
Misleading heading. First quarter + of your video was in quite a shabby, poor area of Bloor Street (student, hippy type area).
Too bad the city ruined traffic flow on Bloor St with those damned bike lanes. This video is great because it shows how well traffic moved before they were installed...
Bloor Street traffic was already ass, without the bike lanes. Installing them was honestly a good choice.
So let's make traffic even worse by taking away one lane in both directions? It's also been devastating for businesses in the area due to a loss of 70% street parking. torontosun.com/2017/09/30/koreatown-shops-hurt-by-bike-lanes/wcm/ae587d4f-7f0b-4f7b-8cce-341b8ac7c9b4

- Vacancy rates held steady at 6% in Bloor Annex and Korea Town. On Danforth, they declined from 10% to 7%."
