Businesses are suffering? Says who, you?

Then how do they stay in business downtown? The only Best Buy in the whole area is at Empress walk where there's also a large grocery store among other businesses, all of which are connected to a large underground parking garage. Losing a couple of on-street parking is not gonna do anything. You're like that piano store owner who completely dismissed the viability of bike lanes on Bloor just because cyclists can't carry a piano on their bikes, despite the fact that the street is dominated by restaurants and small businesses, not big box retail.
Maybe you buy TVs and microwaves very often, but I can state with confidence that nobody else does. If you can't imagine life without being able to conveniently park right in front of every business you wish to visit, then living in a smaller city might be more suitable for you.
You are not part of the "vast majority", and on behalf of all non-motorists we are sick and tired of hearing from drivers who, no matter what street we're talking about, feel like they are always the most important road users and that everything should be done to make it as convenient as possible for them at the expense of everybody else.

It's time that we adapt to the changing reality of how people actually get around.
