Just means they'll have another competing priority if we can manage to get them that cycle track removal contract!

This is what happens when you let boomers stick around in government longer than their expiration date. That entire generation is a disaster.

Record-Setting Consultation Shows Ontario Residents Hate Government's Bike Lane Bill
In the wake of the Ontario government’s passing of Bill 212, a public consultation has revealed a significant backlash.
The above is in regards to comments received during the posting of bill 212 (bike lane removal bill for short here), on the Environmental Registry.
The substance from the above link:

@Northern Light how are you feeling these days with it all?
In one of her year end reviews Mayor Chow was saying she hopes to work with the Premier, called him out saying "we are stronger working together" and hopes to reach a compromise (remove some, keep some).
Now since the Bill passed i don't think I have heard Ford or Prabmeet speak a word of it.
I still think the Etobicoke lanes are gone no matter what but have you heard any other rumblings?

Cautiously optimistic. (or less pessimistic, depending on one's perspective)
But no counting chickens and all that...
I have................ however, I'm not in a position to share at this time.

Changes to Bloor bike lanes at Dufferin coming to community council wrt construction (stage 1) of the tunnel to Dufferin Station: https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2025.TE19.22
"City Council authorize the continuation of the closure of the north side westbound bicycle lane, the north side westbound traffic lane, 1.5 metre wide portion of the eastbound left-turn lane, and the south side eastbound bicycle lane on Bloor Street West, between a point 4.8 metres west of Dufferin Street and a point 58 metres further west, from February 28, 2025 to January 31, 2026 inclusive."
"Furthermore, since the time of the original approval, the developer has modified the traffic management plan by reducing the width of the construction staging area, in order to maintain a 1.2 metre wide bicycle lane on the north side of the roadway."
Looks like the lanes on the north side will get protected by a jersey barrier. Covered walkway on the south section for people on the sidewalk

1.2m bike lane? i guess its something, but wasnt there a discussion a few pages back about the minimum width of a bike lane?

Yes, and generally, that would be considered to be 1.5M for a painted-line version.
1.2M is certainly not something that would be approved as a permanent design.,
Is it arguably wide enough for single-file traffic riding cautiously? I hope so.............. But that's certainly pushing it.
