A new Parkdale bike lane was meant to make roads safer. Some say it's done the opposite | CBC News
Briefly

Jordan Marshall argues that since the West Parkdale Cycling Connection's implementation, he has noticed a significant increase in road rage incidents, with frustration boiling over as drivers adjust to new road configurations. 'People are getting out of their cars, like punching windshields,' he told CBC Toronto. Marshall believes that the transition is causing chaos within the neighborhood as drivers become confused about the new one-way streets and react unpredictably to traffic changes.
Michael Longfield from Cycle Toronto emphasizes that the new bike path was developed to reinforce cycling safety and improve transportation options within the community. 'This infrastructure is designed to help support people in this ward get from A to B and help unlock more local trips,' he states. He highlights that maintaining road safety is one of the primary objectives of the bike lane initiative.
