^^ I think I accidentally laughed in one of your guys faces this evening at the bottom of Queen St. He said something about the protest ride to me as I rode past but it was the sign behind him that made me laugh - big banner asking 'Do you want more routes like this?'.
I nearly went back to explain that no I do not want more awful infrastructure that involves a road full of reversing lorries and a shared-use pavement full of peds moving at right-angles to bike traffic in the morning or a road full of peds followed by a 5 minute wait at two sets of lights [heading north] in the evening. They've just 'improved' things by plonking two massive concrete blocks at the southern end too, which causes multiple near misses between bikes and leaves no swerve room to go around non-looking pedestrians.
