The footpaths are not being widened, in some cases the foot paths are only two shoulder widths wide.
Doug Ford made a claim about actually wanting to shrink some footpaths along university to allow for more cars, whole also removing dedicated bike lanes.
Most people in Canada don’t see bike lanes as something that increases pedestrian safety as a whole. Which is a shame all around.
It is dumb because they are also ripping up existing bike lanes that have not impacted traffic and has benefitted the local economy. This is also just a blanket law so nearly every road in the province is subject to it.
It is dumb because a provincial government is over reaching into politics on a very local level that typically impacts local neighbourhoods, this kind of decision making should be up to the councilors, the people the local population elected to make these decisions.
Because (a) it will be used as an excuse to blanket-deny every bike lane, no matter how little disruption it might cause in reality, and more importantly (b) bike lanes should disrupt cars and are still good!
Why’s that dumb? Because it ultimately forces bikes to share widened footpaths like in Europe and we’re better than that?
Luckily I know just the video that explains it

“Widened footpaths”? You mean you want to take space away from cars for pedestrians now? Hah!
