The move to second-guess…

Commentaire

The move to second-guess municipalities about bike lanes seems really misguided. Why bother having municipal governments in the first place, if the provincial government is just going to over-rule their decisions in areas that are supposed to be municipal responsibilities?

And why the exclusive focus on bike lanes? Some of them are probably misguided, but I can't understand why they get so much attention, when other issues like on-street parking on arterials (which snarl traffic in a way that bike lanes never could) are completely ignored by the provincial government.

As someone who gets around central Toronto by car, bike, on foot, and on public transit, I would much rather the province start to take a closer look at why we allow lanes of precious road space to be taken up by parked cars at the busiest times of the day and week.
