An amendment, tabled and passed on Thursday, gives the government and contractors it taps to tear bike lanes out on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue protection from lawsuits, including if someone is injured on those roads.
The last-minute amendment gives the government the ability to remove bike lanes from the entirety of Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue, not just the most controversial parts the government has talked about.
Sarkaria said it was possible the routes could be removed in their entirety — but a final decision had not yet been made.
“We’ll examine the entire stretch to see which parts — ultimately all of it could be removed,” he said on Thursday.
So many urgent problems in the province and the government instead wastes everyone’s time on bicycle lanes.
and money. isn’t it gonna cost like twice as much to remove the bike lanes than it did to put them in?
With Doug Ford, that’s kind of the point. He’s in deep with the companies that will be awarded the contracts.
It is so obvious this guy is a crook. Why has our legal system done nothing about the land scandal? Why is someone with such strong developer ties able to override a municipality and force construction work?
Well, I learned that the entire hullabaloo about bicycle lanes is actually to distract from their more substansive plans in the same bill to build Highway 413 regardless of whether it wrecks the local ecosystem.
