Judge ruled that the removal of the 3 bike lanes will put ‘people at increased risk of harm and death’
The judge ruled Wednesday that Cycle Toronto and others “have established that removal of the target bike lanes will put people at increased risk of harm and death, which engages the right to life and security of the person.”
I’m no genius, but can’t the exact same ruling be used in favour of urgently expanding cycling networks and infrastructure?
The lack of this infrastructure is putting “people at increased risk of harm and death, which engages the right to life and security of the person”, does it not?
No, because the problem with the act was where it removed lanes already built, and the only justification provided had no evidence to support it.
The government can violate your section 7 rights, under section 1. This failed that test by being arbitrary.
That’s @panda_abyss’es argument and it might work to add infrastructure where it doesn’t exist but probably not to absolute zero cars. Which is fine. 😄
Absolute zero cars is a naiively unrealistic goal.
Of course. There are plenty of use cases that require them.
