I just cant get over all the vehicular deaths in the city. Why is this happening? Another 18year old died today after crashing his moped. My condolences.

Is this because people are riding illegally with no experience? Or is it because the cops dont try to stop these illegal riders? What is Chief Roca's reactive action going to be? He will probably say "we have been stepping up our traffic patrols, and have been very successful in catching illegal riders." Yea okay buddy.
I know I speak on the mopeds/scooters/dirtbikes all the time. But wtf! Silly Matt wants zero vehicular deaths by 2030. Its funny he will be out of here at the beginning of 2030. I love how a guy promotes an initiative but wont even be in office to see if its successful. You are a joke.
I dont know if me writing this late at night and sending it out does anything. Maybe people dont like my pics/memes or the message I am sending. Nothing seems to get done. But we will have bike lanes folks. The dirt bikes need a lane to pass everyone in. Another joke. This isnt Seattle Matt. No one cares about coffee shops and bike lanes.
Here is Matts plan.

Where is Matt by the way? Has anyone seen him? He promised safe streets for all. Sounds like the bike plan is to have increased speed bike related incidents.
Why is Frank in all the photo ops anymore? No one wants to see him on their screen. We want our leader.

I’d love to know the details on the fatal crash today, particularly where the two vehicles involved were coming from.
Since the installation of the speed humps at the Rose Garden and along Ott Street just north of Hamilton, motorcycle, scooter, and e-bike riders have gotten much more aggressive, as have many auto drivers.
Auto drivers are angry because they are brought practically to a halt multiple times in a short distance because some drivers practically stop to go over the bumps, some seem to speed up to minimize the effect, and others weave while trying to find the magic path through them.
Meanwhile, those on motorcycles, scooters and e-bikes seem to think that they can just drive around automobile traffic and speed through the breaks in the bumps. This creates a speed differential and an extra lane of traffic that is bound to create more accidents.
In addition, the riders of the two-wheeled vehicles have gotten more aggressive as they are able to overtake their four-wheeled counterparts as they navigate the speed bumps. That aggressiveness on the road doesn’t stop once they leave the speed bump areas, and I have to wonder if that didn’t play a role in the fatal crash of two 2-wheeled vehicles on Hamilton today.
Instead of making things better, the speed bumps and the other planned measures will only add to the dangers on the road. Auto drivers don’t like being needlessly slowed 24/7, and the speed differential and other unintended consequences created by the plan will only lead to more accidents.
The “safe street” plan is not a plan, it’s a recipe for disaster.
