The Provincial Government has introduced a bill to remove bike lanes from Toronto.

Cyclists say this will put them in danger.

Why is anyone even trying to get rid of them?

There's an idiotic and corrupt conservative provincial (state) leader who made it into some BS election issue, and he is removing the bike lanes against the will of much of the city where the bike lanes actually are

I assumed something like that. But like what's the BS rhetoric he's running with to garner support from the crazies? Why would it help even with an insane view?

[–] streetfestival@lemmy.ca 5 points 21 hours ago

He capitalized on anti-urban sentiment amongst rural folk, anti environmentalism, a fictitious 'war on cars.' I'm not sure what else. Most of what he does these days is give away (ie, privatize) parts of this province to his corporate buddies

Cyclist should take the lane and slow roll every day until bike lanes are safe.

That’s the alternative to bike lanes.

When there's no bike lane or there some idiot parked on it I just took the entire lane. Don't like it? Complain with the mayor.

Oh don't worry we plan on doing that all summer.

Hell yeah

I take the lane due to safety, and I’ll let cars pass when safe to do so.

Shoulders are full of trash, debris like loose nails and broken glass, drainage grates, pot holes, and have an uneven surface. They’re the most dangerous place to bike.

Gardiner critical mass time?
