Huge news in Ontario today! This will benefit people who cycle, but it will also benefit people who drive cars — though some of them might not know it yet.
"Justice Paul Schabas concluded Wednesday that the bike lane removals will not reduce congestion. In his written decision, Schabas highlighted expert evidence ‘which establishes that bicycle lanes, and in particular separated or protected bicycle lanes, reduce motor vehicle traffic congestion by providing an alternative method of transportation that is safer for all users of the roads.’”

in reply to AccordionBruce • • •@AccordionBruce @notjustbikes ABC absolutely needs to go, but have they removed any additional lanes since Stanley Park a couple of years ago? I know the Broadway project was cancelled (which was a stupid decision), and they’re still *trying* to get another of the Stanley Park lanes removed, but where else is it happening?
Again, to be clear, I do not support Sim or the rest of ABC, but I ride daily and at least in the areas I frequent, I only see new lanes going in, nothing being removed.
AccordionBruce
in reply to alex.tm • • •@alextm @notjustbikes
I think they tried to remove lines near Sunset Beach and may have faced resistance even from traffic engineers because it would have caused massive chaos
The cut back Broadway Plan includes ways for improvements to be added back in the future at much greater cost (thanks to the fiscal conservatives)
Of course bike lanes and crime are just distractions to avoid focusing on income inequality by taxing the extremely rich to lower housing costs and effect real change

in reply to Mark Connolly 🍻 🚴🏼♀️ (he, him, his) • • •So I’ve just re-watched this @notjustbikes video and it goes even harder than I remembered! It’s a fact-based evisceration of the bike lanes legislation, Doug Ford, his government, and conservative politicians in general. And it’s absolutely worth watching the whole thing right to the end! Set aside some time and do just that 😀🚴🏼♀️❤️

He repeatedly points out the Ontario government's case has no evidence, or is contrary to the evidence, and was contrary to the government's own CIMA report, which they took a long time to reveal.
ie. Doug Ford et. al. lied by omission, lied outright, then lied and tried to hide it.
And the cherry on top: Cycle Toronto was represented pro bono, but Schabas awarded their counsel $200,000 in costs anyway!
