Will they pay for the funerals of the cyclists who die as a result, that is the real question.
Getting rid of bikes lanes does not get rid of cyclists. Doing so just makes cyclists unsafe.
This weird war on bikes - which we know is designed to distract from the billions of dollars in failed transit delivery (Crosstown, Ottawa LRT) - is getting dangerous.

Fellow Ontario tax payers - please like and retweet if you would rather $3.2 Billion be invested in public services, like education, healthcare, ODSP, support for autism families, than be dolled out in one-time $200 pre-election bribes by Doug Ford. #onpoli#onted#cdpoli
That’s what I don’t get. Ban parking on major streets.
Cycle tracks are travel lanes, while street-side parking is just cheap, highly subsidized storage.
@cycletherapyHam I agree that we need safe infrastructure for cycling. However, on these country(ish) roads, I don’t think infrastructure is the issue. It’s drivers not respecting cyclists, driving too fast & not leaving enough room when passing. We need better education and enforcement.
NEW STUDY: Bicycle lanes calm traffic, make streets safer for everyone.
Presence of a separated bike lane decreases average maximum car/truck speeds by 28%, speed of cars making right turns by 21% ...
In 1996, Utrecht Netherlands transformed a 6-lane car street thru the heart of the city into a car-free street that easily carries 40k people on bikes a day plus a LOT of public transit riders —far more people than it used to move in cars. HT @modacitylife
Newly released study shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight.
If cities want to reduce speeding, they should install separated/protected bike lanes—it’ll also get more people biking!
Premier Doug Ford made several exaggerated claims about bike lanes. @CBCToronto’s Rochelle Raveendran fact-checked them. #onpoli 👇🏻 https://t.co/OZCe7Oar88
SCOOP: @CBCNews has learned the Doug Ford government is considering legislation to ban municipalities from building any new bike lanes that result in reducing any motor vehicle lanes. #onpoli
