Another idiotic way that these bicycle obsessed idiots are ruining cities and driving most of the paying traffic out of downtowns.
Expecting people to exclusively ride bicycles in places where the weather is not conducive during most of the year is asinine.
This is often the type of remark I hear from people living outside of Montreal or in its suburbs like P.A.T.-RDP or West Island.
We’re talking about parking in the streets, right? Downtown has plenty of private indoor parkings that give you direct access to the malls and the Montreal underground. And you obviously also can go outside as well.
As someone who lives in Montreal and works downtown, the one thing I really hate is how narrow the sidewalks are. There’s barely any room to move, especially in the winter. Unfortunately, the streets are very narrow, so to expand the sidewalk, we need to eliminate parking spaces.
However, in other neighborhoods, like the Plateau or Hochelaga, or other smaller residential places, there needs to be accomodations for cars if we’re to eliminate street parking. This is one thing I find that this administration doesn’t think through.
