And a healthy dose of pandering to the mass of voters you want (union and riders).

Right turns only and walking bicycles left would fix that safety problem.

You have to fig a little deeper into what is causing delays in those projects. Yes Metrolinx is ultimately responsible, and they must do better. Ford is cleaning out the old guard, almost all appointed byl the Wayne regime.
Then there are the protester folks whining and complaining it’s moving slowly while they delay projects with protests and court challenges.
Only if you are part of the car mafia and want to prevent anyone from riding. It is just as practical to walk bikes across intersections as it is the push cars across. If you want people to commute, they need to remain in/on their vehicle and stop as infrequently as possible.

Almost everyone stops before a left, and as I think deeper, they don’t need to dismount as the perpendicular lane is right there - stop and join in that lane. No less convenient than the gazillion pedestrians.

That’s an elitist concept.Oh boy, here we go with the conservation of motion!
I can only think of one or possibly two places that I feel reasonably safe eating at in this country.

Hey if you want a real example of how out of touch the city is just try driving on King St W.
I had to go down there last week, what a mess, even Google maps can't figure it out and displays no content.
They've made up special rules for this stretch of street, it's dumb and confusing.

Plenty of horror stories about places that that appeared to be well managed and clean.
I actually embrace the small mom and pops or independent places that look like a hole in the wall and serve ethnic dishes from their motherland.
Food often tastes great with added bonus of building the immune system at the same time.

Absolute miracle no one was injured with over 100 shots being fired. Good job by police with taking I think 16 handguns and 2 assault rifles off the street. I guess rappers aren't aware of the hand gun ban across Canada. Pretty wild there are that many people with an arsenal of guns just hanging out on a Monday night.

23 arrested after at least 100 shots fired in exchange of gunfire outside Toronto recording studio: police
Police say 23 people were arrested after suspects in a stolen car opened fire on a group standing outside a recording studio in Toronto’s West Queen neighbourhood on Monday night.

It's one thing for the attackers to have guns but the people recording also bringing an armory for a night of music is a huge problem. No carding means most bad guys are armed.Absolute miracle no one was injured with over 100 shots being fired. Good job by police with taking I think 16 handguns and 2 assault rifles off the street.

In an effort to block douggie removing the bike lanes, toronto had a special council meeting to determine how to be obstinate and says it will cost $48M to remove them. Holy hell. They are completely insane. Apparently painting over the lines is not an option and the roads would need to be resurfaced. Whackos.
I don't agree with the blitzkrieg attack on bike lanes but I also don't agree with the insanity of special interest spending with no limit.

SNL was on top of this 50 years ago. Best part is the cop lost his gun and couldn't show it.

it's not just paint all over
And more examples of how it's not "just paint"
Remove the concrete
Remove the asphalt
Resurface and return to what it was
It's gonna be a few painful months, luckily for me, i don't bike that far north, i stay below the qew when i bike commute
I would hope Douggie would leave those for phase two of screw the bikes (which only gets implemented if phase one is a success). At least those are decent bike lanes. He probably won't though.
