General Road and Highway Discussion

I wonder if this means any improvements to Benton/Frederick, Victoria & King, and I'm sure some other projects are dead? Are the Lancaster changes removing lanes? Does this meaning turning lanes can't be removed?

We'll have to wait and see if he actually tries to introduce and pass such a bill.

Well we didn't have to wait long, the bill has been introduced. I'd argue this means basically all meaningful bike lanes in the province are dead for minimum 4 years.

Worse, the polling around this has been horrendous. Both in being incredibly poorly designed, but also in providing a strong indication that the public supports this measure (which it probably doesn't--because it doesn't ask about the key point: should province overrule cities, but it does seem that most people oppose bike lanes "in general").

I'd say any meaningful improvements in cycle infra is DOA in the province for 5+ years minimum. Even if DoFo loses the next election 100% the Bonnie Crombie liberals will continue the policy, they're establishment with zero vision they practice reactive politics only.

Sorry guys...I'm feeling pretty smug about leaving now.
