Observatory Lane, Sunshine Drive and Queen’s College Drive in Richmond Hill’s Ward 6 slated for traffic calming, but Springbrook Drive residents want bike lane removed

“They are not safe. They are anything but for safety,” said a woman who added vehicles in the two-block section sometimes drive in the middle of Springbrook to avoid the bollards.

Oh, so drivers behind of the wheel of an automobile are the danger. Why remove the bike lanes rather than the car lanes?

I heard that Etobicoke’s NIMBYs are insane, but this is a new level of stupidity from Richmond Hill.

    How about you get rid of your giant fuckass titan-sized SUV for a more reasonable car, and then you won’t have to worry about being too fat-assed to fit?

      Or slow down to drive closer to the bollards more safely. But to be honest, our wide lanes have corrupted drivers, many don’t feel comfortable or competent at all navigating their cars in tight spaces. I still know people who avoid revsering at all costs because they don’t really know how to. Some of the driving i see in tighter areas like parking lots makes me question how the hell the driver even got a lisence.
