As a life long resident and recently retired first responder I feel compelled to comment on this matter
THANK YOU to the provincial government of the day for imposing reason and logic into the equation
I cringed daily as the bike advocates posted photos of police fire ambulances and delivery trucks parked to the left of the road way on the bike paths.Of course these vehicles were positioned to allow for the ONLY live line of traffic to get through .Yes they were impeding the bike path. Apparently the bike culture would have the afore mentioned service vehicles sit in the only lane for vehicular traffic rather than sit to the left of the roadway and have bikes go around them.Apparently their reserved lane and inflated sense of being is greater than the public good served by responders and even deliveries. How has this evolved into a such a mess ? how have we allowed cyclists to impose there will on the city to this extent?This is not Beijing where the entire city was developed around cyclists.Our reality is it snows.Its cold . The bike lanes are rendered useless.The cyclists are on the subways as the roadways are reduced to one lane in each direction.What an abomination. Create bike paths on boulevards between side walks and roadways if space permits. Bike paths routes on secondary roads so our city can function for the greater good not to whims of the cycle lobby .Cyclists learn to follow rules of the road.
This government seems to have suddenly garnered common sense and will get my vote as they continue to make common sense decisions and are creating jobs in the process. Wake up city
