The Ontario Governments promotion of speeding and breaking the law by the removal of speed cameras flies in the face of the Chief Coroners Report that noted a pedestrian hit at 50 km/h is five times more likely to die than one hit at 30 km/h. Speed kills. What are you doing?

Ontario Roady Safety Plan : Eliminate 700 speed cameras (note One camera caught 65,000 speeders) Why. ? Too costly to taxpayers. Whats the next step, eliminate breathalyzer because too costly to tax payers ( or is it really too costly to those who break law) Speed kills . (

Coroner recommends Govt put in bike lanes -Ont Govt forces city to remove separated bike lane. Distracted driver kills cyclist. Driver gets small fine (Govt voted down Vulnerable User Law) Govt bans victim family from bringing lawsuit against them via Bill 212. Redo please.

For a government to handcuff cities and towns from using a complete streets design, is reprehensible to say the least.  It is not only contrary to their own research, it is contrary to the legal principle recognized by our laws and courts, that our streets are to be “reasonably”

Bike lanes save lives. Our work with injured cyclists and the Cycling Death Review proves safe, complete streets prevent tragedies. Blocking them is not just unsafe—it’s unjust. To learn more, click the following link: https://t.co/mG0XJNsibi 🔗

We have represented hundreds of cyclists & work with engineers to reconstruct crashes. There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever having a separated bike lane would’ve prevented the vast majority of cases and any death or injuries @PatrickBrownLLB

Ontario’s government has vowed to tear up newly installed cycling infrastructure, stoking tensions between the city and its suburbs over rider safety and congestion.

https://t.co/6WRXNV32eM As someone who has litigated many fatal cycling truck crashes, these are no “accidents.” A turn that impacts with any pedestrian or cyclist is “turn not in safety.” There are no “blind spots” to those who use proper driving skills according to my trucking
