Nobody should be shocked to learn since the removal of the bike lane, the park has seen no extra parking revenue, fewer people cycling, and a 40% increase in drivers exceeding 50 km/h in the 30 km/h zone. Not only have they made the park less accessible, but also more dangerous. Let's all remember this isn't a bike lane on a four lane arterial, it's a city park !!

Just unbelievably incompetent work from ABC.

I see where you say robbing a lane for motorized pedestrians is impactful on the capacity provided by the roadway. This kind of thing should be studied.

I’m not speaking to road capacity, I’m speaking to public controversy. A bike lane in a city park should be even less controversial and politicized than other roads.
