So far, Quebec is the only Canadian province that has updated its legislation to allow wheelchairs and mobility scooters on bike and roll routes and low-speed roads.

    That’s the real problem: we aren’t prioritizing the non-car user experience.

    Why do we have to make any concessions when it comes to cyclists, pedestrians, or the disabled communities? The default should be to prioritize and accommodate them first, then public transport, then cars.

    We are doing things ass backwards here in Ontario.

      This I wholeheartedly agree with. The benefits of alternative transit solutions are countless, not to mention that they all reduce traffic in the first place, one of the biggest complaints of Ontarians.

      And frankly, many of Toronto’s mayors and councils have been pushing this and been making real progress. Unfortunately a particular premier decided that he knew better and should have the power to redesign the city and its roads, rather than the people elected specifically to do that job.
