Best common sense bill in years. The bike lane bullies of Toronto have their tentacles all through city hall and have been fabricating data on usage, winter ridership, poor weather day ridership, impact on local business, and impact on working Torontonians trying to navigate through the city. The bike lobby group have been padding their surveys and completely disregarding the absolute fact that ridership from November through March is mainly just the food delivery mechanized bikes that pay no taxes, are completely unregulated and enjoy these empty through fares for their own benefit .
Toronto city hall should also be pressed to limit the amount of stagnant road construction projects throughout the city. Construction companies routinely begin construction then leave pylons around the unfinished work and finish the work at the very end of their contract agreements to avoid penalties. Construction on any multilane road should never have stagnant days of work
Eg. Lawrence east from Mildenhall to Bayview, New pipe being inserted. Construction commenced on Aug 28, from Sept 4 till today ( Nov 20 ) minimal work has been done , Northern curbside lane closed for almost 87 days. Really just a storage area for the construction company. With a school being right beside this construction the congestion in morning and afternoon is hellish.
How can this take 87 days ? Why start a job you cant complete?
This is a congestion type of cancer all over the city. In fact i wish i had the Pylon and Construction tape contract for this city. I drive every day all over the city and can never remember seeing so many plyons and so little work being done.
Why do so many roads need bike lanes on both sides of the road, these riders simply don't exist in any significant numbers and dont exist at all during the winter months.
Save our city from the Daydreamers at city hall that clearly have too many members and far to much time on their hands.
Thanks
