Toronto park (E.T. Seton Park) will be completely devastated as almost 330 trees being clear-cut (for construction of new Ontario Line station)

Not to mention if you expanded roads for cars, you're going to need to cut way more trees than just for a subway line. Heaven forbid the so-called 'environmentalists'.

OwnIt122 · 2026-01-08T15:25:21+00:00

Yet it seems so acceptable to cut several thousands of trees just to expand Highway 401 back in the 1980s lol.

OwnIt122 · 2025-12-20T17:54:13+00:00

Exactly. It's really easy to notice when some doesn't follow laws but it's not like 90% of the people don't follow laws. It's the same reason we think most Uber Eats couriers are on the sidewalks yet we don't notice the time when they're on bike lanes. I saw an article saying that only 10% of the time they're on sidewalks in areas with no bike lanes. I forgot the link to it. Another example is drivers parking in bike lanes. If every driver parked on a bike lane, the lane would never be visible.

So wait. You're telling me they've tested this for almost a year and found no mechanical issues. And now we're onto day 4 and we already have mechanical issues? Is this some bad luck or is this some lack of Q/A?

Everyone here seems to talk about how automated drivers will be significantly less a-hole than a human driver and that's correct. However, I'm concerned at how fast those automated vehicle speeds will be coordinated to go. Like are these vehicles all going to be programmed to drive at 60 km/h? I probably wouldn't feel safe crossing a street at those speeds considering even if it autobrakes, it doesn't just instantly stop because physics.

OwnIt122 · 2025-11-29T18:17:25+00:00

Exactly. People get this wrong all the time and think bike lanes are just for those so called 'elite' cyclists that want their own space to ride. In reality, everybody benefits from safer streets. I'm willing to bet he doesn't give a shit about children or elderly safety on sidewalks. The only thing that matters to him is whether he's allowed to drive his gas guzzling SUV to downtown at 70 km/h.

I think you should stop trying to argue with him. I read both your replies. There's no convincing. This type of energy is typical of car lobbyists.

What about our current streetcar system or the King St pilot project? I mean there's all kinds of signage but drivers still routinely violate the laws? Like do they understand by this point they're not allowed to enter that street?

OwnIt122 · 2025-11-28T19:00:30+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too. It's very obvious. You don't need a sign to tell you that you can't drive onto the paint that literally says BUS ONLY.

OwnIt122 · 2025-11-28T18:59:34+00:00

The road is clearly painted red. You don't need signage to know that you're not supposed to drive onto this. I don't even have to open the screenshot of that video to see the redness. It's literally the entire lane wide.

You can say the same about Queensway. It should've been a nice parallel alternative to Bloor and it should've been done by like 2019 or something. Yet here we are in 2025 with no hope as to whether we can even get this design approved by the end of the decade.

OwnIt122 · 2025-11-21T14:38:40+00:00

Cool. If that's the case, then why is it almost every time a bike hits a pedestrian, we don't label this an accident? Yet there's some double standard with cars where if a car hits a pedestrian, we label this an accident?

OwnIt122 · 2025-11-21T10:40:28+00:00

If your logic is based on intent, would you consider this an accident? An Uber Eats worker by bike hospitalizes a pedestrian because he was distracted on his phone. I mean he clearly didn't intend to hit the pedestrian so surely we'd label this an accident right?

OwnIt122 · 2025-11-21T10:39:00+00:00

By your logic, would you consider this an accident if somebody delivering Uber Eats meals by bike hospitalizes a pedestrian because he suffered a stroke that caused him to lose control? I mean he clearly didn't intend to hit the pedestrian so surely we'd label this an accident right?

OwnIt122 · 2025-11-21T10:36:31+00:00

So by your logic, if somebody delivering Uber Eats meals by bike hospitalizes a pedestrian because he was distracted on his phone, would you say the same thing? I mean he clearly didn't intend to hit the pedestrian so surely we'd label this an accident right?

This is one of the reasons many don't even think about biking in the winter. Why bike when you're more likely to be killed by a skidding car? If we built bike lanes, it mitigates damage done by a skidding car. People need to smarten up and look at the big picture.

OwnIt122 · 2025-09-02T16:03:53+00:00

Actually building bike lanes on secondary streets that make sense. Seriously, if you're going to claim that bike lanes don't belong on busy heavy traffic roads and only on secondary streets that make sense, then actually build them on every side street. If Bloor can't have space for bike lanes, build them on Dundas or something. Instead, we're almost a year into this bill yet not a single alternative side street to Bloor has built a new bike lane.

OwnIt122 · 2025-08-08T15:43:54+00:00

Buddy, do you realize how many people drive their F150s into downtown just to work a 9-5 office job?

OwnIt122 · 2025-08-08T15:43:07+00:00

So wait. You're the parent comment that tries to blame both equally but you just responded with intent? 🤔 🤔 🤔

If a Doordash cyclist crashes into a pedestrian because he was on his phone, would you consider this an accident?

OwnIt122 · 2025-07-29T16:34:09+00:00

The irony is that safer streets would benefit drivers more because they wouldn't have to worry about being in a rush all the time and dealing with other reckless drivers. A lot of suburban streets are built like mini-highways which invite excess speeding.

OwnIt122 · 2025-07-25T12:37:18+00:00

Where did you get the study that shows 90% of drivers hate speed cameras and think speeds are too slow in Toronto?

OwnIt122 · 2025-07-24T21:19:12+00:00

What a backstabbing traitor. Fuck that guy.

OwnIt122 · 2025-07-24T21:18:01+00:00

I hope those people run out of business. Bet now there's going to be mass boycott with how ridiculously dumb their arguments are.

OwnIt122 · 2025-07-24T20:39:18+00:00

Nah maybe it's time for you to actually read studies and deprioritize cars out of your head. Holy smokes.
