Finding your way through City Hall. ⇒
4 July 2011, lunch time
Yesterday’s staff report presented positive statistics regarding three bike lanes. On Jarvis Street, in particular, they provided information that illustrated how well the street was working – for all road users. Cycling has tripled as a result of the new lane, from 290 riders in an 8-hour period to 890. Meanwhile, vehicle usage has remained constant, and slight delays in rush hour traffic were going to be fixed with a new advanced green. For the other two lanes, in Scarborough, they also reported that traffic is flowing smoothly, for both cyclists and drivers. Councillors ignored the staff report, and voted to remove all three lanes.
Emphasis mine. What the fuck, Toronto? City council is so obnoxious it hurts.
