What would count as delivery?

Delivered cycling links and safer-street measures; assess network continuity and collision outcomes separately.

Delivered — but when?

2023 campaign deadline: No specific completion deadline established in the reviewed 2023 campaign record.

Actual milestone: Full milestone delivery not established. See the record for partial actions.

Late against the campaign deadline? Not assessable from the reviewed campaign deadline evidence.

Project schedule comparison: No comparable project deadline assessment established in this review.

What the record shows

Action ≠ outcome

Project delivery alone does not prove a net improvement in network safety, collision rates or congestion.

Qualifications & shared responsibility

Ontario can override municipal road decisions. Removal work was contested at the cutoff; this review does not claim every disputed lane was removed.
