    So question. What stops the local government from, after they are removed, investing in building new ones?

      The law they passed.

      I talk about it at the end of this comment. The original law was to prevent new installs where they remove traffic lanes.

      It was amended to add the removal of these.

        What if they narrowed existing lanes, a daily took land from surrounding businesses blaming Ford? Or tolled the shit out of the road for non local commuters until a multi use path was built with the funds?

          There is no rule or law a municipality has that isn’t because the province okay’d it, and that the province can say ‘nah’ to. That means zoning, road construction, taxes, etc.

          That’s why people are taking direct action like this…
