Ontario’s bill to remove certain bike lanes to be tested with Charter challenge

  • Lawyers for a Toronto cycling advocacy group asked the Ontario Superior Court to stop the removal of 19 kilometres of bike lanes, arguing it risks their safety and violates constitutional rights as stated by Lawyer Andrew Lewis.
  • Justice Paul Schabas is set to decide whether to grant an injunction to block the province from removing the bike lanes while he reviews the case and has noted concerns about the removal's connection to reducing congestion.
  • Cycling advocates claim that removing bike lanes does not support the government's stated goal of easing traffic, citing internal documents that indicate such actions may not actually reduce congestion.
  • Mayor Olivia Chow has proposed a compromise to keep bike lanes while allowing for vehicle lanes, demonstrating the government's and city’s ongoing discussions on traffic management in Toronto.
