Murtaza Haider has been making boneheaded arguments against cycling (and urbanism in general) for a long time! He doesn't realize that on Bloor Street, a recent count done by fellow @bikewaysto.bsky.social volunteers showed there were more bikes than cars during the afternoon rush hour!

Here is another example of taking out a lane so you can park 3 cars when there are thousands of underground parking spaces immediately adjacent. So a previously smooth moving 3 lane street (Torontoโs York St NB), is now 1 lane and lined up in the middle of the day. One can only assume this is intentional. I would leave the bike lane and get rid of the unnecessary parking. Time to start yelling. Olivia Chow Brad Bradford
Hell must have frozen over given Jon Love of KingSett Capital - whom a lot of us #BikeTO folks often disagree with - actually posted something we can agree on in which he wants to leave the bike lanes on Adelaide but remove parking! ๐ฎ๐ฒ #BikeSky #TOpoli #VisionZero www.linkedin.com/posts/jonlov...

Here is a big sample of some of the letters sent to Mayor Andy Fillmore, Halifax councillors, and the clerk's office.
I went through 658 pages of correspondence. Only 27 letters were in support of Fillmore's bike lane motion.

These decals are an important reminder to prioritize pedestrian safety, especially in high-traffic areas. Iโd like to thank the community for sharing their input on where to install these decals, helping us identify key hotspots. Installation is underway and will continue through the next two weeks, from now until August 10. Letโs prioritize safety and build a more considerate community!
