Here's a video from Oh The Urbanity!, a resident of Toronto, on the stupidity of removing these specific bike lanes, and the insanity of Ontario making expensive, self-destructive traffic decisions for Toronto's residents.

Oh The Urbanity! is a couple, and they live in Montreal. They previously lived in Toronto, but I think it's been a decade or more.

Doug Ford is the worst mayor Toronto never elected.
