Here's the article again: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/20...-concerned-about-bloor-bike-lanes-impact.htmlHundreds of pedestrians walk on downtown Bloor Street, but these shop owners mean to tell us that the removal of a dozen parking spaces killed their business? Give me a break.
I'm betting it's just a season downturn in business.
It's not the daytime owners are concerned with. It's the evenings and in winter where there is a lot less foot traffic. This is Korean town, not Yorkville we're talking about. The area does have significantly less people during certain times. E.g. After sunset where less people feel safe walking on side streets to their parked cars or walking 5 minutes in the cold or rainy weather.
I do believe bike lanes are good for the area. Eventually all the shops would turn into businesses that depend more of bikes and pedestrians. The current ones can just move out.
