Perfect Public Transit

A significant portion of that trail has not removed road lanes in order for it to exist.

But it works. So I see no reason not to add to them.

Bike lanes work when traffic is not impacted. So there are places where it makes sense and other places where it doesn't.
We can't take roads that were designed for cars and then cram in bike, bus, patios, streetcars, etc and expect traffic to not be negatively impacted.

There are roads that can accommodate adding bike lanes and roads that can't. But the city counsel has thrown common sense out the window and has drifted into group-think mentality.

All the roads in downtown and the inner core and surrounding areas predated, were not planned nor designed for cars at all.

And none of the roads in pre-WWII Toronto were designed as unfettered free ways for motor vehicles.

There are roads that were built post WWII that can accommodate single occupancy vehicles to your hearts delight and there are roads that can't.

But, you "want to throw common sense out the window" and drift into this fantasy land of an expansive, endless, paved tar landscape that does not exist.

So you're going back almost a century to base your analysis? Ok.

Do you think they eventually built roads with multiple lanes because the whole car thing was not catching on?
Do you think the number of cars is been declining since?

Why do Marxists want to tell everyone else how to live?
If I want to drive alone in my car that I purchased with the money I've worked for and paid taxes on, on a road that my taxes have paid for, then that's my choice.

If you want to ride a bike in a snowstorm then vote for someone who will build new lanes specifically for bikes without affecting existing car lanes.

yes AlBundy, lets go back horse and buggy, that's what these roads were build for
