Toronto - what are you doing?

www.blogto.com/ has a post about how:  

the public works and infrastructure committee voted in favour of a by-law that would make it illegal for cyclists to park their bikes at anything other than an official City bike post or designated bike rack.

Background information seems to suggest that the reason behind the motion is to protect young trees from careless cyclists who lock  their bikes to them - I can understand that - but the motion goes much further.Just one more sign that Toronto doesn't like bikes.


Toronto also doesn't like homeless people. http://torontoist.com/ has a post on a proposed by-law which states: 

“No person shall, without approval of the general manager, camp, dwell or lodge on a street.”

The city is creating a solution that is not really a solution.
