    Removing these bike lanes isn’t as simple as removing paint from the road. In some sections, it’ll require complete road reconstruction to remove concrete curbs, and underground utility work to relocate catch basins. Toronto’s Bloor Street was *just* shut down for months to install this infrastructure, and it’ll have to be shut down for months again to remove them.

    Doug Ford and Ontario’s Transport Minister were seemingly unaware of the scope of the work required.

    I suspect Doug may have flown too close to the sun on this issue. If he’s smart, he’ll wait until after the election to begin construction, because months of road closures will not be popular.

    I sure am happy that the level of government responsible for housing, healthcare, education, and social services is so focused on the big picture – bike lanes along the Premier’s commute to work.

  3. You mean much like his science Center numbers that has repairing the old building being cheaper than moving it.

    I don’t think anyone can trust ford on any kind of math.

    Worth remembering bike lanes reduce congestion not add to it.

    And Doug would know all about hog stuff.
    With his buddies and him all at the trough gorging on tax payer money and worse .

    The man that hasn’t found something yet that he can’t or won’t needlessly overpay for now feels this estimate is high?
