“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.

I heard that Etobicoke’s NIMBYs are insane, but this is a new level of stupidity from Richmond Hill.
Maybe the cyclists don’t like the stop signs that the path frustratingly has but the road does not? Around that stop there are two within a few hundred metres, and frequently stopping (or slowing down fot a rolling stop) makes riding slower and more tiring. That’s probably not nearly the entire motivation, though.
Thanks for the reply
