Seems like every day we read another article / thread about a rider being injured / killed, but in addition to that, I cannot believe the amount of carnage on our roads this year for pedestrians and cyclists being killed on what seems like a regular basis!

What the hell is going on? I am fully aware statistically there are a LOT more pedestrians and cyclists, and know that a lot of them are to blame (at least partially) for being in the road where they shouldn't be...but this is getting scary to actually go out and ride on the road.
Sad to hear about all of this carnage, and personally I've no clue what can be done to limit/mitigate it further. I see on Lakeshore east of Royal York they've added fully separated bike lanes on the south side (2 directions) which I think is a great step, but then of course you lose parking on that side.
Not sure what can be done, but this is something that's really coming to the attention of many Torontonians.
