Your idea of balance is that it is acceptable for a small amount of people to die per year to shave minutes off your commute. Got it.
We don't want balance. We want to keep people from getting maimed or killed while biking.

I believe that most respondents in this thread would prefer to stick to details of new cycling infrastructure, without having to be feel like their every post is going to be held up for debate by another member throwing around statistics and claims that are untethered to any reviewable studies. If we gets reports of that continuing, we'll be making some longer-term adjustments to who has access to posting on UrbanToronto.

Something of note over the last few months. With the addition of bike lanes/better infrastructure (albiet most just painted) on Gladstone both north of College and south of Dundas as part of the Bartlett Avenue, Havelock Street, and Gladstone Avenuebike route they are building, it has become quite the bike highway. It has pretty low vehicle traffic and it's keeping most people safe and off Dufferin. Of course the Cadbury factory and the truck traffic is likely the reason why lanes aren't on the stretch between College and Dundas all the bikers do get to enjoy the sweet smell of chocolate as they pass through.
Although it was a bit of comic relief during the shut down of Gladstone cause of the church fire to see all the poor bikers make it half way down the street only to have to turn around and trek it back around. Shows how important this route is though.
A successful example of utilizing adjacent streets that experience lower traffic to host bike traffic while keeping Dufferin open for the eventual dedicated bus lane.

Said bus lane will be in place by summer 2026, for the World Cup. The only thing is making sure its permanent, not temporary.
