Bike Lane Chaos is Now Complete

Now that school is back in and everyone is back to work, the true effect of the new bike lanes on Eastern Avenue in Toronto is now being felt. There are several ways I could describe the situation - total chaos! Charlie Fox! SNAFU!

All of these phrases are accurate and can probably give you a sense of just how bad these new bike lanes have made things, but I have decided to unveil a brand new word in the Toronto Dictionary - Millered. (Mill-erd) Adjective. Describes the chaos and or decimation caused by left-wing politicians.

I think I've probably made myself abundantly clear on how I feel about these bike lanes, but now we're starting to see a large number of others jump on that bandwagon. Not only has Eastern Avenue (the last clear road downtown from the east) become a hopeless mess, but now frustrated drivers are spilling onto Lakeshore, Dundas and worst of all Queen Street. What makes Queen Street the worst is that these frustrated drivers are zig-zagging along trying to make headway and in the process they are seriously jamming up the flow of streetcars.

Nice work Mayor Miller (and your partners in chaos, Adrian Heaps and cycle-nut extraordinaire, Glenn De Baeremaeker) - what do you have for an encore?
