I feel nauseated every time I hear of another cyclist being murdered. And ANOTHER hit-and-run, too.

For the record, this area does not appear to have cycling infrastructure in place. So yeah, City of Mississauga, this one is partially on you.

You are completely right. And it is not limited to crosswalks, either. When you look along the Yonge corridor there are areas with massive amounts of foot traffic relative to the width of their sidewalk, no bicycle lanes, and yet find a ton of space for (mostly unused) on-street parking and car lanes. It's a shitshow for the people living there, often immigrants who can't vote, all for the convenience of the suburbanites driving through.
