Coroner recommends Govt put in bike lanes -Ont Govt forces city to remove separated bike lane. Distracted driver kills cyclist. Driver gets small fine (Govt voted down Vulnerable User Law) Govt bans victim family from bringing lawsuit against them via Bill 212. Redo please.
For a government to handcuff cities and towns from using a complete streets design, is reprehensible to say the least. It is not only contrary to their own research, it is contrary to the legal principle recognized by our laws and courts, that our streets are to be “reasonably”…
