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

Just so everyone knows, the real reason for this appears to be buried in the bill: Doug wants to sidestep striking civil engineers, as well as bypass having to do an environmental assessemnt, on Highway 413.

The bike lanes nonsense is a red herring to distract from Doug once again trying to get something done for his donor base: land developers.
