“They are not safe. They are anything but for safety,” said a woman who added vehicles in the two-block section sometimes drive in the middle of Springbrook to avoid the bollards.

Oh, so drivers behind of the wheel of an automobile are the danger. Why remove the bike lanes rather than the car lanes?

I heard that Etobicoke's NIMBYs are insane, but this is a new level of stupidity from Richmond Hill.

Yeah not from the area. The only reason I’ve ever wanted bike protection lanes removed is to dodge other vehicles. I’ve never had an issue with bikers in the biker lanes…

It shouldnt be an issue either way if you’re an attentive driver. But there are too many people driving who aren’t attentive. So /me shrugs. A cars a car. A life is more important

from Florida. other than to school and back I don't drive much. I think I've seen 2 cyclists on the little bike lane in about a year of driving
