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.
Ford passed the legislation for ripping up the bike lanes TODAY!!

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.
What relevance do bike lanes in Toronto have to do with Sudbury?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?
Do the Toronto newspapers not report about crimes, major events, etc outside of the GTA? These news media will report everything that occurs not only in Ontario but Canada itself.
Is there a law against that?
No law against that. Just funny that they have one of the highest crime rates yet focus on Toronto bike lanes. Big news?
DoFo just posts those for show, he won't change any policy.on the Ontario government web site concerning bike lane removal
there is a consultation time frame that closes on Nov.20
you can still post your comments there until then
after Nov.20 hopeful all bike lanes on 3 major streets will be removed
it will be a nice Christmas gift for Toronto commuters
Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 - Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane. | Environmental Registry of Ontario
The framework would enable provincial approval for new bike lanes on municipal roads requiring removal of a traffic lane and for existing ones, where a traffic lane was removed; it also provides for the removal of the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. in the City of Toronto...ero.ontario.ca
His commute to Queens Park is Bloor to University so he just wants it faster.
Why is DoFo look 'immature' to you?
Maybe Dough Frod is immature, but DoFo?
Ford is premiere, he should stay the fuck out of city politics, he's screwed up the province enough and what he's doing to the city is a shit show.
Ontario Place, Science Centre, a tunnel under the 401?
The Bloor St bike lanes are always busy now, its really stupid to tear them down.
The above eruption of nonsense is how democracies die.
You think bike lanes are expensive but don't have a problem with DoFo wasting money with the LCBO, Ontario Place, Science Centre or other giveaways like license plate renewal fees?
"Build bike lanes." They just painted lines on the pavement.
Hopefully all of them. Subway shutdown this weekend and the shuttles are all lined up in one lane and traffic is heavily backed up.
It is shutdown for scheduled maintenance. And DoFo isn't the only one who hasn't properly funded the TTC
