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.

    So people were speeding on these roads. Only 1% of drivers obeyed the speed limits according to residents. But change is weird, and especially change that reminds us that cars aren’t the only thing people use to get around the city, so let’s only talk about removing the calming features and get back to our dangerous driving again!
