Buzz off. Accessibility advocates seem to think they should be able to drive everywhere. One day, you'll want to be able to drive literally into a restaurant for "equity" reasons. I blame progressives too - they started these "equity" wars.

I am convinced this country will never know how to build public transit. Best solution is to buy a car and take care of yourself. Do they give you lobotomy the minute you join any government or government agency?

Meh, barely critical. Unfortunately, the lanes will be gone and this thread will go back to the bottom of the forum lol.

It's cute you think they're coming back.

This would require that most city staff care about actually making a difference. Too many are too busy doing two jobs from their homes in Barrie to care.

It’s what Canada deserves.

This is not a critical mass. This looks like special interest hippies to most people.

How many are we actually talking about? I doubt the casual bikeshare-r will show up.

This is kinda hilarious lol - nice while it lasted :)

Don't tempt them! Complete streets feels very elitist to those in the suburbs.

You can have nice teeth or bike lanes. You gotta pick.

The extension into Etobicoke was bizarre as that is Fordland and will always trigger Doug the Defender However, yet to see data on mode shift from car to bike. Hypothesis still is from transit to bike, which does mean we are effectively adding more volume to the roads.

I really don't understand the outcomes you want to drive outside of being unnecessarily contrarian. If you continue to incentive driving, even people downtown will drive. There is no world where all the people downtown just walk and cycle on dangerous roads while we make space for suburbanites...

Even if you had a neutral premier and focused on outcomes, not outputs, the city is failing on holistic transportation. KM of bike lanes is an output. Reduced death is a good outcome. But yes, we are obviously choosing faster car traffic times over deaths. Quiet part said out loud in this...

I think DoFo saw turbanplanners citizen science.

I think Rick was quiet quitting before it was cool.

We have to make our voices heard then if we want them to do better. With WFH taking hold permanently now, TTC is losing scale and there is less of a narrative and qualitative business case to support rapid further investment. Play it up in your emails to your Councillor - how embarrassing it...

At this point I can’t tell if they select for a lack of strategic thinking or if it’s on the job training.

I personally love cycling past all the single mothers of colour who starve their children because they're stuck in traffic for my elitist benefit.

I say let Fordlandia continue to think driving an Escalade to eat pancakes at that one restaurant is culture.
