“They are not safe. They are anything but for safety,” said a woman who added vehicles in the two-block section sometimes drive in the middle of Springbrook to avoid the bollards.
Oh, so drivers behind of the wheel of an automobile are the danger. Why remove the bike lanes rather than the car lanes?
I heard that Etobicoke’s NIMBYs are insane, but this is a new level of stupidity from Richmond Hill.
It’s only dangerous for the people on bikes because the people in cars drive like assholes, and of course those assholes don’t want to accidentally kill someone. It might damage their car.

How about you get rid of your giant fuckass titan-sized SUV for a more reasonable car, and then you won’t have to worry about being too fat-assed to fit?
Reading that the people were confused about bollards is astounding
Don’t run into or over them and you’re fine, if you feel you’re going too fast for how close you are to them, slow down.
It’s not rocket surgery
And that style of plastic “bollard” barely even counts as a bollard… You can drive right over them and they just break off/fall down.
We need to add coloring in between the lines to the driving test.
So people were speeding on these roads. Only 1% of drivers obeyed the speed limits according to residents. But change is weird, and especially change that reminds us that cars aren’t the only thing people use to get around the city, so let’s only talk about removing the calming features and get back to our dangerous driving again!
