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

I'm guessing all the businesses on Bloor will be upset about this since there were substantial positive economic impacts when they put in that bike lane. https://tcat.ca/resources/bloor-street-economic-impact-studies/

Yep, cars speeding through don't generate business. Doug Ford is just a giant douchbag
