NEW: Looks like CycleToronto won in court. Justice Schabas finds Ontario's law (AND version 2) to remove bike lanes infringe S7 of the Charter and is not saved by S1, in large part because the govt had no evidence to back up its claims.

In 2023, Amsterdam lowered the speed limit on 80% of city streets to 30 kmh (19 mph).
Since then:
🔹 Ped & cyclist crashes ⬇️ 15%
🔹 Car-related crashes ⬇️ 11%
🔹 Noise ⬇️ 5.5% (logarithmic)
🔹 Traffic ↔️ No change
60% of locals support the lower speed limits.

If the federal government's position is that we don't need to lower the price of homes for the middle class, then I think they'll need to make some changes to the National Housing Strategy Act.
