I’m saving this one for later today when I have time, but came here to say - when I visited Toronto I was struck by how bad the streetcars were. The way they’re done is like busses, except they can’t detour because rails, and they block two lanes of traffic at many stops because they run in the middle two lanes. So they’re held up by car traffic and traffic signals, and themselves contribute to car traffic by blocking the road. And they allow parking in the outside lanes. It’s a bad system. They should give the trams dedicated space. Take the cars out, put in a bike lane and give the trams space.
But isn’t this the city that’s ripping out bike lanes

It’s (potentially) happening TO the city, but not BY the city.
