The Twitter account belonging to Senator Nicole Eaton was deactivated following backlash toward her rant against the new Bloor Street bike lanes. “Can you imagine closing two lanes of Fifth Avenue to accommodate a few bicycle riders,” she posted on Friday, referring to one of New York City’s main roadways, which in fact has a bike lane stretching about 1.4-kilometres. Eaton criticized the city for devoting funds to build bike lanes instead of other infrastructure priorities.
