At first, I thought Ford getting elected may save the city from stupid infrastructure spending. But maybe not... the continued push for bike lanes may result in motorist groups getting their wishes to remove cyclists.
The newbie chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee
"Mr. Minnan-Wong is in favour of installing curb cycling routes on existing bike lanes on Sherbourne Street and Wellesley Avenue, with connections on smaller streets such as St. George, John and Beverley Streets."
"He also advocates building a new, two-way separated bike lane on Richmond Street, which would require removing one of four lanes of traffic."
"The scheme would see second curbs installed a metre or so out[!!] from the existing curbs, allowing cyclists to pedal safely[?] in the space between sidewalks and parked cars [!!] or traffic, depending on the location."
