Judge ruled that the removal of the 3 bike lanes will put 'people at increased risk of harm and death'

The judge ruled Wednesday that Cycle Toronto and others "have established that removal of the target bike lanes will put people at increased risk of harm and death, which engages the right to life and security of the person."

Ironically drivers can do most to get themselves to move faster by lobbying hard for bike infrastructure and public transit (more so). The more other drivers get out of cars, the less off the number one contributor to traffic congestion. And there's tons of drivers who only drive due to lack of alternatives.
