Ya know... That fella who was killed recently on Sandwich Street, who was hit so hard by one car that he was flung into the oncoming lane and hit again by a second car...
This city, that ward, that BIA had a chance to make huge improvements to that street, when The Gordie Howe Bridge Company redid the road, from Ojibway Parkway to the "gateway".
There could have been seperated bike lanes, there could have been pedestrian crossings, there could have been speed tables, there could have been a lot of things that would have helped make that street less of a stroad and more friendly to people instead of over sized, over fast, over loud, over polluting cars.
The BIA, run mostly by barowners, fought those improvements, (Hell, they tried to fight the construction happening at all) and so City Council decided, overtly, not to spend the paltry $500k, decided to forego Vision Zero strategies.
Remember that when you spend your money on dinner or on pints, when you book your gigs, when you plan your events and meetups, but especially remember this when you vote the next time you get a chance.
