what. what. what. I think I misunderstood this whole thing. They are actually removing them? I thought it was more like they were not going to make more and let them rot type of thing.
You misunderstand the hubris of the Ford government.
It's a full removal of lanes that were recently put in because they believe adding them worsened traffic despite evidence showing the contrary.
Your tax dollars at work! Do we need to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure? Nah we need to save that money to tear down what little we have.
It makes me unhappy that this didn't penetrate the awareness of so many people in Ontario, despite receiving literally world-wide coverage. Good ole' Worst Case Ontario.
granted im not canadian so I was not very invested and was just reading headlines. I just sorta assumed.
ahh that makes me feel a bit better
