Or like back in 2012, Rob Ford, the mayor of TO at the time, had a temper tantrum and had the Jarvis bike lanes ripped out without consultation from council or the community that worked hard to get them. Not to mention he cancelled Transit City illegally as well. Happy 10 years of failure #Toronto!
I lived nearby at the time; they had stripped a 1cm layer of asphalt off where the painted lane used to be for fastest results.Crazy level of malice.
A better delivery-truck-free design than infographic:
sidewalk,
bikelanes,
metal bollards,
a two-to-three foot low concrete divider spacer for parked car door,
parking lane,
then road.
Separation of concerns much better (NL-like) and stops "dooring". Parking not sandwiched by sidewalk & lane.
Don't cross the streams 🤣
If we can just get designers to own and ride a bicycle, the flaws wouldn't be so common
I remember that every time I don't see sidewalk-bikelane-parking-road.
Parking no longer belongs by the sidewalk. Of the four items, it's critical space that has the option of not existing. Even NL is cutting another 10,000 parking spaces.
