Bullshit, Bloor St businesses back the bike lanes and say they are good for business.
The only ones who don't want them don't live here.
Ford passed the legislation for ripping up the bike lanes TODAY!!
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
The only ones who don't want them don't live here.
That's the gist of it.
Those drive-thru and drive-by suburban/exurban, crawl-by/bye-bye/sayonara/adios/hasta la vista moronic, motor vehicle motorists are the perpetrators/culprits that are clogging up, congesting, gridlocking urban, inner city, local and neighborhood roads like 'shack', 'skoobie', roddernutz' et al
Summed up nicely here:
...widespread organizational phenomenon. It even has a name: The Dead Horse Theory.
Here’s the brutal truth: When a horse is dead, logical people dismount. But in organizations, what do we do?
- We add more riders to the horse.
- We feed the horse better hay.
- We schedule daily stand-ups to discuss why the horse isn’t moving.
- We form a cross-functional task force to review the horse-riding strategy.
- We invest in a sleek saddle, hoping it will inspire the horse to run.
- And, when all else fails, we rename the horse to something cooler like “Strategic Unicorn.”

ps I wonder what the new name of the carbon tax will be if Carney wins the election?
DoFo loses in court and can't rip up Toronto bike lanes!
This province is such a nanny state. No wonder Alberta wants to leave the country.
Because DoFo wants to tell cities when they are allowed to put in bike lanes?
The bike lanes were illegally put in and residents spoke out against them. It's not against rights and freedoms to remove them. Cities shouldn't be allowed to put them in without the permission from residents. Nobody wants them.
Bull.
The people of Toronto voted for bike lanes and just voted in a bike commuting mayor.
DoFo should stay in his lane and get the fuck out of municipal issues.
No they didn't. If they did then why are so many signing petitions to remove them. Why do so many homeowners and small businesses have signs to remove them.
There are a handful of loudmouths who whine about how slow traffic is so want more cars and less bikes on the road to fix it.
Businesses where bike lanes have gone in have found its increased sales.
Bikes make cities safer, quieter, cleaner and more liveable.
The number of cars keeps growing and building more roads in the city is not an option. For every bike you see often that is one less car.
Bikes take less than 1/4 of the amount of road space.
Bikes and buses are the way to move more people around.
Its the residents that want them, but a lot of the businesses don't. Ironically, corporations are the ones using them the most with meal delivery apps.
Terb has a lot of right wing projection, the downtown crowd is VERY pro-bikelane lol.
