You may ask why it's being put back exactly where it was, instead of getting the greenery, etc that is on the west side, further south?

#Bill212 prevents the adjacent lane from being removed to add the green, etc. So instead, the size of the bikeway was maximized with robust concrete protection

The people of Ontario gave you no such mandate.

You got votes from 13% of the population, 300k total votes in Toronto

What you're doing will make congestion worse.

So, what exactly are you doing?

Why do you need more of our money to do it if you're such a good businessman?

#Bill212

#Bill212 stops that.
Once the province takes it out, it becomes a car lane.
They don't need the bylaws to be passed by council.

It's never been about the bike lanes.

It's so much bigger than that.

If it was *just* about bike lanes, the province would have jumped at the city's much less expensive proposal to add back a traffic lane and keep the bike lanes.

But they rejected it.

#Bill212

We can't get money for healthcare, but we can get a bottomless budget to remove accessible infra that people in this area voted for.

When a privileged minority over-ride the needs of the majority and get police protection to do it - you have to question who the police are here to protect
#Bill212

When you need police protection to remove infrastructure used by people with disabilities, you know you are on the wrong side of history.

#Bill212

If you haven't read #Bill212 - this is essentially why they can do whatever they want.

The wording is wild.

Something you'd use to defend the ability to save lives, in war time, etc.

But no, this is for the removal of bike lanes

. when faced with colder overnights, & to get work done before asphalt plants shut down, etc, daytime work can be requested. But is usually denied unless it's an emergency due to safety.

The issue with Bloor is that this is the province. And the city can't really deny anything because of #Bill212

CITY NEXT DOOR: For all of us in Ontario 🙏 Cycle Toronto #BikeTO taking #BikeLanes battle to Supreme Court ⚖️ if leave given to appeal Ontario government plan to tear out target #BikeLanes per #Bill212, which also scraps #RoadDiet designs for quick-build #CompleteStreets in #bikeMississauga 🚲

This is a very effective presentation on turning movement count (TMC) #opendata that is publicly available on the Toronto website. More of this type of data daylighting is needed on corridors under threat by #bill212! (Hint: pattern looks similar!) #biketo
