Bike lanes suck.

They're better than no bike infrastructure at all, but they're still suck city compared to dedicated bike paths with physical barriers between cyclists/cars and even cyclists/pedestrians.

Bike lanes suck.

You would say that, ms_lane

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 14 points 14 hours ago

they suck on stroads, yes. they're mostly fine in tight downtown areas alongside a single vehicle lane.

I think most people refer to physically separated bike paths that share the same road surface as bike lanes. personally, I don't really like completely separate bike paths (around here, most commonly multi use paths), because they're not actually designed as infrastructure, but as recreation, so connections and directness are poor.

but, yes, just tossing in a bike lane is not the proper solution, it's a bandaid on the way to a complete infrastructure replan. and fuck you Ontario for blocking them and ripping them out

I'm actually impressed that the votes flip-flopped

Fuck. Don't tell me those commie Demoncrats voted you into office too!!!!!??

I'd build those gosh darned commie railways, reduce roads* by a lane to make real dedicated bikeways and build euro style 4-5 story apartment blocks with retail on the ground floor and make it all walkable!

muahahahahah!

For someone named lane, you seem awfully anti lane…

Also, yes please to all of your filthy commie ideas.

Unfortunately you'd have to solve the wage theft problem first unless you want only execs and the yuppiest yuppies living there. They were making similar plans in a not so terribly lefty city, to tear down a few neighborhoods and some not even old office buildings to build something similar. It wasn't for any utopian plan, but to further gentrify a core part of the city and make the land owners and developers filthy rich. There was no option to be grandfathered in. They were just going to tell hundreds of families and businesses to fuck off if they couldn't afford to move into where they already lived.

That's a fair warning and a real shame.

Bring back public housing.

[-] spankysalmon@fedinsfw.app 1 points 5 hours ago

Yea, and preferably in a better way than the section 8 projects that immediately turned into slums of a slightly more vertical sort. It cannot entail simply shoving all the poors together with little other assistance.

[-] BevsDad@lemmy.ca 13 points 16 hours ago

Unprotected bike lanes are actually worse than nothing so yeah.

I miss living on the Toronto harbourfront and being able to bike an hour in either direction along the lake with very minimal interactions with cars..

[-] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 10 points 16 hours ago

the other day i watched a car slip into the bike lane for 100yards. good thing cyclists around here know better than to take the road.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 hours ago

I hate riding my bike on streets. I’m lucky my area has dedicated bike zones all along the main streets, separated by barriers. I wish more side streets had them, as well. I wish f’in everywhere had them.
