    Transport Minister: I doubt it's going to cost $48 million to destroy newly installed infrastructure, clean it up, AND repair the roads afterwards.
    Also Transport Minister: Traffic Congestion costs us 11 *BILLION DOLLARS* worth of _"productivity"_

    The Province gonna bungle the construction costs removing Toronto Bike Lanes like they did with the Eglinton Crosstown LRT & the ballooning costs of the new Toronto Provincial Court House.😂😂

      The province has been completing many projects months ahead of schedule. I hope the same holds true for the removal of these lanes and restoration of the roads.

      @ lol no they havn’t. The Eglinton Crosstown was suppose to be done one year after Ford was elected he fired people and replaced them with his own cronies and now the project is still delayed. The courthouse cost is ridiculous almost a $1B for one building.

    The transportation minister cites 12 year old data and won't look at the city's data. Cons are exactly what they are...CONS!

    Many people use bikes to get where they need to be. Not everybody is in a position to own a car or use other public transport.

      Have you even seen the lanes? They are not parking curbs but rather large concrete barriers. Bollards and raised curbs in some areas too. Stay in your lane.

      if you've seen the downtown bloor and university bike lanes, you'll know they go far beyond just paint and consist of lots of raised, permanent pavement and concrete barriers, and removing them to replace with car lanes will require a total redesign of those streets

    Defund CycleTO, cancel CafeTO, abolish Toronto Bike share. All these other wasted programs that the city pumps money into and you'll find out removing bike lanes is a bargain.
    Also ban and outlaw cycling and all of a sudden all the roadblocks of removing lanes will also disappear

    • @misodent9794
      @misodent9794 6 днів тому +2

      getting more people to bike is actually a bargain for the city, car dependency is very financially unsustainable and drivers already don't pay their fair share for the road damage, air and noise pollution, and danger they present. look around the world and you can see cities with extensive bike infrastructure actually have lower traffic and spend way less on transportation infrastructure compared to car-centric cities. the reason so many torontonians want better bike infrastructure is because it's consistently been proven to be better for cities around the world

      Or let's do the following things: - 1. Create a Dome around the city to block any non Torontonians to enter the city including tourist, and for Torontonians to not be able to leave the city because most cities outside Toronto require owning a car as mode of transportation. 2. Let's make Markham the financial capital of the country like it used during 70's and 80's, and while we are at it, let's make it the New Capital of Ontario since it will be more easier for non Torontonian people to go to Markham without worrying about hitting a cyclist since their blind spots won't be blocked by Traffic cones similar to the ones that are on the University Avenue.
