This is such a municipal issue it's annoying to see the Province wanting to butt in in the first place.

This is what bugs me about the Ford government
They want none of the responsibilities or finances of a provincial government, and they constantly want to step in to municipal issues and politics.
What do you expect from a conservative government? This cuts into oil consumption and green alternatives. Can't have that!
Municipal government is an extension of provincial government. City councils have no real power, in effect they merely advise. Their authority comes from the provincial government, who can overrule any decision they make, and even substitute their own.
Well that's shit.
This is just another example of Ford's retail politics.
From the guy who brought you "buck a beer" and handing out twenties when he was running for CPC leader.

I know google's amp links are BS designed to keep in you a google ecosystem and never take you to the actual content creators' sites. Do you mind outlining for my and others' edification what's not to like about CBC's links with "amp" in them? I'd love to know. Thanks!
Is that a typo? You mean barring car lanes where bike lanes need to go, right?
Honestly, there aren't many places that do bike lanes well anyway, and so long as the idea of bike lanes in Ontario is a painted line at the edge of the asphalt, I wouldn't bother.
I mean, removing the cars from the road where you install a bike lane is how to do it tho
Well yes, as in step one in a many step process. Most places don't even consider step one.
So many bike lanes are not well considered. They have poor maintenance because they’re the shoulder, they can be filled with debris that punctures tires or reduces traction, there are manhole covers are grates, parked cars, or they lead into sidewalks that you can’t legally bike on, etc.
As a rider you have to do what’s safest, and when there isn’t quality infrastructure that means avoiding certain roads and taking the full lane on others.
This law would simply make it impossible to create that infrastructure, which really sucks
You're supposed to take the lane if the "bike shoulder" isn't safe to ride in
Yes, but then you have to be prepared to be verbally abused, honked at, hated, or even just plain hit by a car because drivers don't understand this.
That's the bare minimum requirements needed to live in Toronto as a human, lol
Yes, and wear a giant yellow reflective vest
I’ll get the popcorn ready. This should be good.
