Of course they would because it's North America. Spain and China built something similar with no issues.
Ford passed the legislation for ripping up the bike lanes TODAY!!
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
They didn't have DoFo running things, he's more interested in syphoning off public money then getting shit done.
It's hard to believe China didn't royally fuck it up. They probably just killed the officials responsible and then replaced them with more incompetent, corrupt cronies to fuck up the next project.
Spain is pretty incompetent too.
Transit and road projects will always be expensive. The problem in Toronto is that councillors use these as political tools and this causes a lot of waffling on getting anything done.
The years roll by and we are always behind. Meanwhile, they try and pretend they are dealing with congestion by urging people to take transit that doesn't exist, is not efficient, and ride bikes in February.
They would rather focus on important things like putting cats on leashes, and renaming parks and figuring out what the next cash grab will be to make up for their poor fiscal management.

Doggie Boy never goes with the true facts, but comes up with his own statistic!!
Doug Ford says only 1.2% of Torontonians commute by bike. That's not true.
A City of Toronto survey showed 44 per cent bike to work, shop or visit friends

The number 44% is not even anywhere in this article. If I ever saw a number pulled out of an asshole it’s this lol.Doggie Boy never goes with the true facts, but comes up with his own statistic!!

(I do like bike lanes though. Feels European af.)
The better question is why does Sudbury care about Toronto biking statistics when they have bigger problems of their own?Doggie Boy never goes with the true facts, but comes up with his own statistic!!

Greater Sudbury’s violent crime severity index hits record high
At 137.9, Greater Sudbury’s violent crime severity index is the highest it has been since Statistics Canada began recording it in 1998, and is the third highest among 36 Canadian metropolitan areas listed in their latest report

If the claim is that 44% a few times a year use a bike... maybe, Well no, I doubt that many people even have access to a bike. Just look around at the bike lanes, then look at the sidewalks, the metro, and the cars.
Also in the winter that 44 would drop to near 0.
What has the bike lanes got to do with crime? That is a separate topic all together!!
If you were paying attention...the article about the bike lanes that I was responding to was from a media outlet in Sudbury...hence my comment.
You come up with all the BS, when you do not want to do the Research yourself:
So here goes:
.
Of course I know it is an article from there. But again what does bike lanes have to do with Crime in that area? The highest crime rates are in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Are you going to blame the Premiers that rule those Provinces?
No I'm saying that they should be focused on their high crime rate rather than looking at other cities' bike lanes.
Do I need to draw you pictures or something? OMFG
Ohhh dear, can they not address both at the same time? Again that is just a media from Sudbury. Should they ignore bike lanes from being reported and only concentrate on crimes?
Not Toronto but I doubt Ottawa is much different.
Went for a 40 minute walk on Bank street south of the 417 around 3 to 4. I saw 5 people on bikes in bike lanes, another 3 walking their bikes on the side walks. Hundreds of pedestrians and a fuck ton of cars and people on buses. It was also perfect weather for taking the bike, not too warm, not to cold, no rain.
Seen the same in downtown Montreal, thier bike lanes are hardly used. People walk, drive or take the bus/metro even on good days.
44% use their bike to commute, is obvious bullshit, I doubt 44 percent of people even have bikes. Even if it was a true study that didn't suffer from some sort of bias, based on what the mark 1 A 2 eyeball, those people are not using their bikes very often.

Because when a walker comes to a complete stop, starting again is trivial. With a car, the gas does the effort. In a bike coming to a complete stop and tthen going again takes a bit of effort, easier to just slow down a bit and hope for the best.
Hopefully Chow can stop DoFo from meddling in city business.
