I don't support the bike lanes everwhere. They build bike lanes in industrial areas and some residential areas, you very rarely see a bike.

No law against that. Just funny that they have one of the highest crime rates yet focus on Toronto bike lanes. Big news?
Just reporting the news is supposed to be "Focused"? OMG, this is hilarious!!

And every premier before Doug didn't do shit either. What's your point?
Other premiers did much better.
DoFo is the worst in Ontario history.
He'll put money into new lines while starving maintenance.
The TTC main lines are shit shows with basic equipment failures compounded by being filled with homeless people caused by service cuts, rent increases and inflation.

The lanes DoFo wants are the busiest in the city, but they are on his personal route to Queens Park.

So I'll ask again...what relevance do Toronto bike lanes have with Sudbury?
Is someone concerned that when they ride their bike from Sudbury to Toronto in January they'll be unhappy with some bike lanes downtown being removed?

The lines never got maintenance under previous premiers. That's why they're failing now. They also never built the new lines they promised years back when it was much cheaper. Even the busiest bike lanes aren't that busy.

The Eglington LRT is a perfect example of Ford work.
Ford wasn't Premier when the Eglinton LRT was approved nor was he in charge when construction for it started. In fact no way Ford would've approved an LRT seeing how he is a subway kind of guy and Eglinton would've been a subway had he had his say. He did okay extending it to Renforth to connect it to Mississauga Transit. Once again FF all talk and no facts. That's all on Peter Verser. Look into his history if you want to see the real reason why The Crosstown LRT has yet to open.

DoFo is running Metrolinx.

Everything was going well, on schedule and on budget until Ford got his mitts on it, starting in 2018.

Just like the Faux brothers invisible Scarborough subway. Twelve plus years in the making and still missing in action.

Everything which effects the public good that he touches, crumbles and falls apart or is given away free to his developer. corporate and private interest puppet masters.

True, Ford was not Premier when the Eglinton LRT was approve, but Ford is part of the conspiracy and cover up as to why to date no train is running, with no explanation.

He is, but it was a problem way before he became Premier. I just don't think he should shoulder all the blame but he should do something to get it back on track.

I predicted that the University Avenue bike lanes would be removed as they were beginning to be constructed in 2023.
Ford showed have stepped in much earlier as the wing nut Toronto council would shut down Yonge St to cars and trucks and make it into a bike and pedestrian if they were left unchecked.

The problems were there before he was Premier. Don't act like they weren't
It would help you if you could verbalize what these problems were that existed pre-Fraud.

Frankfooter relies on people not checking the misinformation he constantly peddles. That's why he keeps doing it...hoping some might stick to the uninformed.

Well, that infamous "subway guy" conjured up and approved the LRT Ontario line.

Ford's LRT Ontario Line as the Eglinton LRT line both utilize above ground and below ground sections.

Neither the "Ford would never have approved" Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the Ford approved Ontario Line LRT are heavy rail subway lines such as the TTC Lines 1 and 2. They are both LRT lines that have sections that are underground.

Ford is wasting billions of dollars on tunneling a new section under Eglinton that doesn't have the ridership there to merit tunneling in his riding for his rich neighbors who poo-poo as only the rich can the very thought of sharing the road with anyone.

You can run eastbound and westbound seaborne supertankers across the Eglinton Ave W. stretch there.
