Facebook group calls Mayor Ford's bluff on bikelanes

Ford said in June he supports the plan to remove some bike lanes, and said residents have been calling him to demand the Jarvis Street bike lanes be removed.

"I want to get rid of the bike lanes on Jarvis," said Ford. "A lot of people [have been] calling me and they want to get rid of them. I do what the taxpayers want me to do. They want them gone, so we're gonna try to get rid of them."


So, the logical thing to do, is call him...

A Facebook group is calling on concerned cyclists to bombard the phone lines of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford on Monday in advance of proposed changes to the city's bike lanes.

"Rob Ford claims that he prides himself on being available by phone to all his constituents," the page says. "Even the ones that did not vote for him. Let's take him at his word."


He'll find a way to bullshit his way out of this, natch.

But at least we'll know which voters he really listens to.
