The Ontario government is considering bringing forward legislation that could prohibit the installation of bike lanes when lanes for motor vehicles are removed as a result, sources say.
Siemiatycki said “this government has signalled that the car is king,” pointing to prior steps the governing Progressive Conservatives (PCs) have taken to ease costs for drivers.
He sees the PCs as making a clear play for the votes of motorists, and believes the policy would also appeal to many drivers frustrated with congestion on the roads.
These entitled assholes have no fucking clue about how congestion works or anything else. Continuing to enable (in the addiction sense) cars will only make congestion and costs spiral out of control even more until there’s nothing left but a bankrupt Hellscape of dysfunctional sprawl.
