I'm no traffic engineer or anything but isn't nearly a quarter of all this year's accidents at the Mary St. intersection where cars pile up? Couldn't that be adjusted with a simple tinkering of the lights? Or a number of other possible tweaks that aren't "Completely abandon transit"? As others have said, this year wasn't even an outlying year. If anyone wants to argue it's caused more accidents they'd be wrong.

So many of the proposed alterations address the issues of the anti-TOL folks and they still just want to say no. They don't want to admit that this works so they'll plug their ears and hide, all while collecting paychecks from the very folks they're avoiding.

I do a good amount of driving because I work out of town, and I'm still completely in favour of the bus lane. My routines haven't changed, nor have my shopping habits, and I've taken the bus a number of times down King St. As a driver and as a passenger I love the lane, which isn't supposed to jibe with their complaints.

Did anyone hear anything back from Maria Pearson when pointing out that it doesn't even make sense for her to take King St.?
