I did a little follow-up on the protest against the proposal to narrow Lansdowne Avenue in my neighbourhood and this BikeTO post does a good job at debunking (also, good post here) the claims of the locals who object to the plan.



Like I said earlier, it's a dumb protest against a good idea and a waste of time and energy. However I was wrong about the lack of consultation. It turns out that there was much more than the required amount of consulation (er ... apparently none is required for a project like this), including a public meeting. The opponents of the plan are now saying it wasn't enough ... Pfffffffftttttt. Right. Things gotta get done and you can consult for freaking ever on a small road project. Let's get those shovels in the ground ...
