Yikes, stay safe out there. This seems like it will end up costing the city more when someone does inevitably gets hurt, but hoping that’s not the case for the safety of cyclists. Drivers will just have to adapt to people on bikes being more in their way now, and not by choice.

You’d think so! I certainly did. An inevitable law suit will probably end up costing the city more than just doing the right thing in the first place.

Perhaps uninterested but also seemingly priced out of the profession. It’s more feasible for people who have already earned their wealth and have a safety net in place. As someone who used to do sessional teaching, it didn’t pay the bills & the scheduling also didn’t allow me to have a regular 9-5.

Agreed, for a city that loves to call itself progressive, there’s so much contradiction through mayor & council’s decision making. We appreciate your work and advocacy, someone has to do it and it sure isn’t our elected officials in #guelph. @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social also does great work here.

Yup, heard about this from friends in Guelph. Very upsetting. You spend money on infra and encourage people to use it, but then cut funding to keep it safe an useable all year? What a waste or resources and potential hazard. If anyone is injured as a result, they should call us.

@bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social at least the route 98 expansion just passed, but BARELY (and certainly not supported by the mayor)

Probably not, but the unfortunate reality is that public transportation also does not seem like a priority for the city. The decision felt feelings-based rather than on facts, which is not ideal when poor bike infrastructure is a safety concern which often leads to severe injury and sometimes death.

Doug calling normal unions “radical groups” is a clear-cut example of how far-right and anti-worker his ideologies are

While this Bill has passed, we cannot stop the pressure and organizing we can built now. We will defend our communities and fight back.

How much worse will housing accessibility, accomodations, and security for disabled tenants be when landlords are further advantaged with faster eviction mechanisms and more opportunity for retaliation against us?
