Ontario taxpayers will spend $200 million on a new parking garage at Ontario Place, but the government says it will quickly generate tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue.
I agree with you. I also am not even remotely hopeful we can accomplish that anywhere near as quickly nor I do I think the NDP has a prayer in hell of ever having a national majority. I wish that weren’t the case but while I work to make our reality different I don’t believe it will be anytime soon since I work for the ideal but I live in the real.
What the fuck Canada, 100 bicycle spaces? That’s about 20m2?
You could fit like… 8 cars in that space!
My home town in the Netherlands has give it take 50.000 inhabitants
It’s train station alone has a bicycle parking garage that houses well over 3000 bicycles
That’s just for a train station.
There is no car parking there at all, and just a few stops where people can be dropped off / picked up
Alas we will never be anything remotely like the Netherlands. We are too spread out now and too car dependent. It will take decades to correct.
And? It took the Netherlands a good 20 years at the least to get the basics done. France is doing it at breakneck speed now.
The problem is that you need the political will, you need politicians who are willing to talk truth and not be a mouthpiece for the car industry

Also, it says "up to 100 bicycle parking spaces" . That could also mean 50, 25, or 0 bicycle spaces.
How many Penny-farthings would that be?
Ontario is in the process of REMOVING bike-lanes because all of our politicians are criminals.
