The Ford government is promising to pay the cost of removing bike lanes from major city streets that fail to meet its unannounced criteria as it ploughs ahead with a plan to limit biking infrastructure and rip out some routes.

We can't afford to build rail but we can afford to pointlessly rip out bike lanes and still not fix traffic.

I hate this and a lot of other decisions the Ford gouvernement has made, but they also greenlit the biggest expansion of GO Transit ever. Plus, a ton of other public transit projects.

How useful really is transit if everyone has to drive to their train station? The fact they greenlit so much rail should mean they should be fighting for more bike lanes, not less.

I'm in total agreement with you about supporting bike lanes, I'm just pointing out the fallacy of saying, "We can't afford to build rail."
