Interesting news story on the shrinking the road back down to 4 lanes. There seems to be a back ash against bike and pedestrian infrastructure across the country, fueled by right of centre provincial governments and commuters stuck in traffic hell who blame bike lanes instead of lack of provincial and municipal investments in transportation. Halifax, potentially Montreal depending on the civic election, Ontario, and Alberta are just a few that come to mind. Hopefully the cities stand strong and don't allow a backward slide.
