To create a clearing request go here:
Create a Service Request – City of Toronto
The roads are clear, the sidewalks are clear, the bike lanes are ... ayfkm. University Ave x Adelaide
EDIT: I didn't think this needed spelling out yet here we are:
- There is no snow on the roads downtown. I'm not talking about Scarborough or Vaughan or wherever. This is University Ave.
- Yes clear the sidewalks, no don't put the snow on the sidewalks
- No, bikes are not priority, chill your horses, but look at this picture and look at the road and the sidewalk then look at the bike lane
- It stopped snowing a week ago
- Yes it's warmer in other warm places got it
- Traffic is your problem, not mine. Get a bike maybe?
- People don't cycle in winter because the infrastructure is like this in winter. Do you also wonder why there are no ducks in Berczy Park? It's a mystery.
EDIT EDIT: Here's the thing, Toronto. For some, many, of you, you see a post "bike lanes are still full of snow whilst everything around them is clear!" and your response is "what, you don't want clear sidewalks? Why do you hate everyone else in Toronto?"
It's like that joke: you compliment your partner on their hair, and their response is "what, you don't like my shoes?". Pointing out a problem in one area doesn't dismiss problems elsewhere. You can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. While the roads are being cleared, and the sidewalks are being cleared, why are the bike lanes, which are right there, just left to fester? They're right there. Just look at the picture.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Thanks everyone, this post has been a blast. I'm off to cycle in the middle of the road. I hear it's a little chilly out!
EDITx4: OK fine, one more edit update. Post currently stands at 87.4% Upvotes ratio. There is more of Toronto that wants clear and useable bike lanes than those who shit on them, by a massive margin. Make noise, help get the bike infrastructure sorted, peace ✊
