"Ripping out these protected bike lanes against the will of Toronto city council is a colossal waste of $48 million. The province’s own experts know it will not ease traffic congestion, it will put people’s lives at risk…” One of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen any politician do to any city.

Ontario will begin removing bike lanes from a stretch on Bloor Street W. in Etobicoke on Tuesday, the Ministry of Transportation says.

Hey Toronto! Early voting in the municipal election opened yesterday! I had no wait at the poll; was in and out in under five minutes. Don't forget to check out the candidates for school trustee (feels a little grim given what Ford has done to our school boards, still worthwhile).

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

incredible, the court basically did the dril drunk driving tweet
[75]       There is much that is wrong with this reasoning. It minimizes the purpose of the legislation, in effect trivializing it by characterizing it as saving some drivers a few minutes rather than reducing traffic congestion, which may in turn result in a wide range of positive effects. At the same time, it inflates the negative effects of removing the bicycle lanes, talking of injuries and deaths that will occur only if the bicyclists choose to ride on the roads that have no bicycle lanes – a situation that obtains on roads throughout the province. Having so characterized the purpose and effects of the legislation, the application judge rendered the outcome inevitable on a simple proportionality standard.drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get to work on time, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

Bike-lanes don’t cause traffic congestion. Car dependency, land-use sprawl, too many cars driving too much taking up too much space, highly subsidized driving costs, and not enough choices in how to get around, ALL cause traffic congestion. Think about it. THAT’S common sense.
