Live Coverage Of Doug Ford Scarborough Focused Virtual Town-Hall: Dofo Might Remove Bicycle Lanes

Via my twitter feed.  A bit of real news contained therein, perhaps.

Whoa. Doug Ford live call. He's telling me Chow/Tory going to put street cars down middle of road in Scarborough. #TOpoli

100 miles of bike paths to be removed if elected, did he say? #topoli

Doug, who I refer to a Rob once in the tweets above, definitely said he will remove bike lanes.  I'm no longer quite sure he said 100 miles worth, or kms, or whatever.  But he definitely committed to removing them in the 416 suburbs.

In any case, for a little background: I got a call from the Doug Ford campaign inviting me to a Scarborough-Centric conference call with, apparently, 1,000s of other Scarberians.  There were live questions from screened participants (one mildly critical question regarding Rofo's drug use), and occasional survey questions.  The twitter feed is my best attempt to communicate the drift of it.  Some stuff might be worth following up on, like:

Volunteering stuff. Dofo coaches basketball at TCHC building. SOunds like he says he coaches baseball in Scar.

...and:

Dofo tells stories of getting a kid off the streets in Scar because of coaching baseball. #topoli
