Still can't go three abreast without exiting the lane. The bike lane is just the ashpalted lane. The gutter isn't the lane, the concrete where people stand after parking, or the city puts sign posts post up isn't the lane. And you'll also note there are right angled curbs in places so you can't get to close to those or else you'll crash out.
Ford passed the legislation for ripping up the bike lanes TODAY!!
- Thread starter mandrill
- Start date
And Toronto is not Montreal, nor Calgary or Edmonton? Burgs where you don't get the heads exploding histrionics and verbal diarrhea of pampered, coddled and swathed in diapers, motor vehicle drivers who are the culprits, not bike lanes, in congestion and gridlock.
I mean, c'mon get serious with these faulty inequivalences.

You don't ever here these BIAs railing against bike lanes nor have emergency services ever raised one iota of alarm of increased response times.
There is also an enormous amount of local area consultation, data gathering, months and months of preparation and planning and city council debate and votes involved versus a bribing, conniving, cynical electioneering blowhard employing the lowest of the low car culture war tribalism to gin up up what is really an insignificant non-factor in congestion and gridlock eaten up by low information, low knowledge, road raging, car is king inner and suburban rednecks.
Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal are all a lot smaller and less congested than Toronto. Calgary has a population of 1.5 million. Toronto has a pop of 7M.
The GE was crumbling and needed to be fixed up or it would start collapsing. And city council suggested it should be torn down instead.
The City of Toronto's population, 2.8 million reisdents, is 60% less than you believe it to be.
The City Montreal is a major urbanized city of 1.8 residents with the greater Montreal area contains 4.4 million residents.
Calgary and Edmonton are not rural hamlets.
All these cities basically have the same type of environments, urbanization and suburbanization.
The difference is that drivers in Montreal, Calgary and Edmonton are not widdle, gurly men, prone to histrionics, bedwetting and diaper soiling like those in Toronto when encountering an insignificant bike lane off to side of road.

Bullshit as usual.
You have never ridden a bike obviously, a tricycle yes, not a bike.
Your God given right of a congestion free or Sunday driver's excursion during am and pm weekday rush commuting hours is a rust bucket relic of time long, long past.The photos were taken on a Sunday afternoon.....
A suggestion by some on council, definitely not the majority, that it be torn down and replaced with an expanded lakeside boulevard and rapid transit was one of 3 proposals put forward.
Options, varying proposals and plans being put forward for the rigors of professional examination and subsequent reports thereof being made available to decision makes is the hallmark of good governance.
Suggestions, varying proposals and plans that were tabled, voted on and enacted by city of Toronto council and not Doug Fraud.
You can't understand city of Toronto council and city of Toronto issues if you are always cocooned in a casket of metal, glass, plastic and rubber while squealing like a stuck pig alongside thousands of other single casket occupants on the paved tar pits of the Gardiner, DVP, arterial, secondary roads.

That's just a lame excuse. If you build it they will come. Plus there are E-bikes that can get your lazy ass up the hill.

The fact that ANYONE suggested that a major artery be torn down is astonishing in its idiocy.
Bet you supported the Gardiner being destroyed. Just your sort of exploit!
Nah. I live in Little Portugal and usually walk to court at University and Dundas. I enjoy the scenery as I walk past......
I just have a few IQ points that tell me that the cars aren't going away - because 90% of the GTA is suburbs with shitty transit links.
Nah. GTA's about 7 million. You include Peel, York Region and Durham. That's where the cars live.
Compared to Toronto, they're quite small.
Your 'commuting folktale yarns from hell' keep changing as often as Trump has his soiled diapers changed.
First it was all, "Oh they made my commute south to the Gardiner a living hell because they put a bike lane on Palmerston or Augusta or whatever the fuck that street it was. So now my work commute to York Region Court in Newmarket is even more fucked up than it always has been! Woe is me."
Then it was, "I take the streetcar to the new monster courthouse on University Ave and it's all fucked up because of bike lanes."
Then it became, "The bike lanes are making my College St., streetcar commute to work/buy milk/get my shoes cobbled a visage out of Dante's inferno!"
To now, your quoted gem above about walking, joyously walking and skipping to work stopping to sing hello, hello, hello to all the little birdies, chipmunks and puppy dogs along the way.
You walking? Hah, that's rich!

Warm weather will come? Also, anyone can take small streets and bike lanes are not even necessary. Just allow bikes going against the traffic on all one way streets (or even turn a blind eye as they pretty much already do now) and it’ll be safer than a damn bike lane with its zooming couriers and slow ass families with kids and all kinds of rookies
Toronto police cracking down on unsafe e-bike operators
The Toronto Police Service says it is cracking down on unsafe operators of e-bikes, e-scooters and other small electric vehicles.

Seriously. Since when did you become a conservative with common sense. As for the Gardiner. I support it being underground as some in the past have suggested.
