“‘This obsession with bike lanes is, frankly, not helping anyone. And if, instead, the government stayed in its lane and focused on things like helping cities with transit, that would be a real improvement for Torontonians.’ Longfield said the money could be used to fix growing pains in opening Toronto’s new Line 6 Finch West or to finally open the long-promised Eglinton Crosstown LRT, both of which are under the jurisdiction of the province’s Metrolinx corporation.” — Ethan Lang, CBC News
