General cycling issues (Is Toronto bike friendly?)

[turbanplanner]

A sad day for cyclists in Toronto and across Ontario. Bill 60 - which prohibits the conversion of motor vehicle lanes to bike lanes (or any other prescribed purpose) - has passed Third Reading this morning. Such a move would kill various cycling projects including Dupont, Danforth (Victoria Park to Kingston Road), and Parkside in Toronto, Bloor in Mississauga, and countless others across the province.

Ford government's controversial Bill 60 passes in Ontario legislature

A controversial housing bill by Premier Doug Ford's government is coming up for a final vote in the Ontario legislature on Monday.

To be fair, to me a silver lining is it will move the focus to multi use tracks? I know they're not possible everywhere

This is infuriating. Doug Ford is cancer to Toronto.

Once Doug Ford is gone, how many more of his fugly Ford spawn will be left to mess with Toronto politics? Feels like this city and province is cursed because of them.
