This is a great article looking into the evidence regarding the impact of bike lanes on traffic in Toronto. It turns out, there’s no clear relationship. This would matter if Doug Ford wasn’t science illiterate.
He is also the one who’s destroying the science centre so yeah, wouldn’t say he is.
We need better middle ground politicians and politics. Kathleen Wynn wasn’t some amazing choice either back then, I voted for her though in the first term and wasn’t happy with the second. Then I switched to Ford and despite some stuff being okay, its shit like this that blows my mind in anger.
As a native (former) Torontonian and suburban guy who lives and works in the same community now, I love the bike lanes but there aren’t enough. And when I drive I’m glad they exist for the cyclists.

Destroying? Destroyed. The new centre will be some card tables and a ream of paper for folding airplanes.
Sure, not arguing that. I’m literally saying he isn’t science literate since hes destroyed the science centre per the comment above
