84 m. ago Divisive Toronto bus lanes shortened but not for the reason you think

There's one proposed road change that has been kicking up more controversy in Toronto lately than even cycling paths and construction-related closures: bus lanes.As part of its RapidTO project to prioritize the flow of transit vehicles, the City revealed plans for TTC-only lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin streets, two thoroughfares that, like most major roads in Toronto, are perpetually backed up with traffic.While the dedicated lanes were recommended in light of the congestion that will inevitably come from the upcoming FIFA World Cup — for which we are hosting six matches at BMO Field next summer — they are something some residents have been requesting, at least on Dufferin, for years.However, those who have gone to considerable lengths to advocate for the additions have now been met with equally strong dissent from locals, many of whom are business owners, who argue that the on-street parking that would be...

The bakery (or, non-pastry shop, if you prefer) is completely sugar-free, lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegan, but, if its rapid expansion across Europe can be used as any indi...
