Ontario is removing Bloor, Young and University bike lanes.
Ontario is removing Bloor, Young and University bike lanes.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he plans to remove bike lanes from three Toronto streets, whatever the data submitted by city officials.

It's happening, the worst mayor Toronto has ever had is removing three major recently completed bike lanes at tax payer expense. That's right, Ontario tax payers are footing the bill for Ford to meddle in Toronto municipal infrastructure. This is of course to distract us from failing healthcare and education while appealing to his mostly car centric base.
There is a protest happening Wed. 23rd of October, please come out if you can. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rally-ride-for-road-safety-tickets-1045417761667

Yes. If possible, have a sign on the back of your bike or shirt that says "We need bike lanes." or "Bike lanes reduce traffic congestion."
If the Bloor lanes get removed. I'm going to do that pool noodle thing for safe passing and take the lane every time.

Pool noodle thing? Like this?
Yup, that's it. Take up as much space as I can.
Still much less than a car. And I mean, they chose to remove the bikes lanes, so how else are you gonna transport your pool noodle for your daily swim?
Exactly!!!
