Transportation Quote of the Day By Ryan McGreal

Published March 08, 2007

An article in today's Toronto Star on the city's burgeoning debt crisis contained the following nugget of wisdom by councillor Rob Ford of Etobicoke, which I repeat here without further comment:

I can't support bike lanes. Roads are built for buses, cars, and trucks. My heart bleeds when someone gets killed, but it's their own fault at the end of the day.

(Thanks to Jason for finding this.)
