Bike lanes work great in toronto, people ride all year long downtown.
This year they started plowing some, this will continue to get better.

Somehow you think it's bright idea to shoulder the fee for the trucks to take the 407...Do we have unlimited funds only you know?
407 underused? You may want to check the stats on that. You would be surprised.
Adding lanes in areas where there are usual bottlenecks would help congestion.
You mean the NDP party is proposing to pay the fees themselves out of their own party funds without depending on taxpayers to do so? Wow that's great!

The fact is that Amsterdam is a very old city constructed around the idea of water transport (for freight) and has very little of its precious below sea level land to commit to roads. It has bike lanes because there is no room for cars anyway. Is the result nice or pleasant? No. Just walking across a street in Amsterdam is a harrowing experience! It also makes for very inefficient delivery (unless the business is on one of the canals). Luckily, there are no hills for cyclists when all the land is reclaimed from the sea.
And the number one export of the Netherlands - refined petroleum products! That's not very environmental, is it, Beav? At least they haven't let their own lifestyle limitations blind them to the needs of the rest of the planet.
BTW, number 2 is pharmaceuticals. Figures, as probably everyone there is on anxiety meds!
Amsterdam is a fun place to visit BECAUSE IT IS SO ODDLY LAID OUT. Like a funhouse. It's a good example of WHAT NOT TO DO for modern cities.
p.s. It's considered good luck to throw your bike into a canal in Amsterdam. Thousands do it every year. Maybe that should tell you how much the citizens love biking!
The fact that we have to is only because the conservatives sold off the 407 in the first place.
Which do you think is cheaper, building the 413 or paying truck 407 fees?
why do we have to pay for the trucks? you think throwing money to every problem magically solves it...GTFOH...
You are so uninformed in your cozy inner-city slum.
It will work with existing highways so that routes make sense and are better connected.
You think they're just building a new highway beside the existing one redundantly? Lol! You are so lost in your bias and hatred it's making you look stupid.
The proposed 52-kilometre Highway 413 and transitway will extend from Highway 400 (between Kirby Road and King-Vaughan Road) in the east to the Highway 401/407 ETR interchange area in the west, connecting the regions of York, Peel, and Halton. The project includes a 4 km extension to Highway 410 and a 3 km extension to Highway 427 for a total of 59 km for the corridor.
The highway would have 11 interchanges at municipal roads and features such as electric charging stations, service centres, carpool lots and truck inspection stations will all be explored as part of the design.
The transitway would be a separate corridor running alongside the highway dedicated exclusively for public transit, such as buses or light rail transit.

Bevr said it was under used...he can prove it since he made that claim.
Why don't you just watch from the sidelines rather than interjecting into other's posts? Just like you sit at home collecting welfare and pretending to contribute to society?
We have to pay for the trucks because Mike Harris sold off the 407 and Ontario can't decide who pays fees anymore.
My vote goes to Emperor PeePee as Champion-Lordking-Archbishop-Sadfuck of the Archbishopric of Sadfuckery in the Celestial Kingdom of the Sadness of Fuck.
What a Lame Dick career politician....
He should have asked them how much they hate Trudeau...but that video would then be hours longer.
You are confused as to the difference between snow and winter. It is only when it snows and it sticks around for a few days is when the bike lanes become an issue.
Not the whole winter. You are really catching the bull by the tail.......typical Skoob!!
