Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

[Northern Light]

It's odd how he disappeared for many months and now has just started posting the same repetitive stuff again right where he left off as if he'd never been gone.

He may have been on a 'UT vacation'.

The truck apron is asphalt. The Dutch would use cobblestones or brick. However, the automobile lobby wanted a smoother and FASTER drive around the corner, so the city appeased the motorist, not the pedestrians.

Same reason for replacing cobblestones between streetcar tracks with a smoother surface. So the motorists could get a lane to drive fast on. It's always the motorist getting priority in Toronto. Ditto with driveway ramps on monolithic sidewalks leading to driveways, so the motorists could enter and egress the driveway at a fast speed, but resulting in a tripping hazard for elderly pedestrians.

Please cite your sources for these claims. If there are no sources, please delete your post. It isn't helpful to spread made-up claims.

I had thought it was odd that the white line didn't see to precisely line up with the low spot. If the white lines were moved a bit, and the asphalt at the corner changed to grass, would this still be a problem?
