“Schabas also found the government failed to provide evidence that removing the lanes would alleviate congestion — one of the law’s stated purposes. In contrast, expert testimony presented by the applicants suggested lane removal would likely increase collisions, injuries and even deaths.”
That’s fair, but I was mostly speaking to Toronto specifically. In Toronto, the streets are laid out in a simple grid, and the landscape is comparatively flat.
I’m mainly just salty that my city insists on putting bike lanes here (a hilly car sewer mostly lined with parking garages) instead of here (the flat main street that already mostly sucks to drive on anyway), and I take every opportunity I can to bitch about it. Sorry.
