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.

    Could be that is just simply faster for them to use the road.

    Or driving with cars around you is more predictable that pedestrians? That’s the case for me, although I always use the bike lane where I can.
