The obsession on this forum with opposing cycling is a bit bizarre. And I say this as someone who is not a cyclist and cares most about transit.

When they are redesigning a major corridor, they are obviously going to try and improve transit and cycling. If transit isn't done to the same standard as cycling, that's not some grand conspiracy. JFC. It's usually either:

1) Incompetence from designers who don't take transit and aren't transit nerds.
2) A deliberate choice to favour motorists or limit roadspace taken away.
You forgot the number one reason these projects turn to shit and cost millions more in this city: ward councillors have way too much pull and ignore the professional advice given to them.
