Advocates celebrate court-ordered pause on Toronto bike lane removals
An Ontario judge paused the Ford government’s plan to rip out three of Toronto’s major protected bike lanes, handing cycling advocates a symbolic victory.
"Schabas also found the government failed to provide evidence that removing the lanes would alleviate congestion — one of the law’s stated purposes. In contrast, expert testimony presented by the applicants suggested lane removal would likely increase collisions, injuries and even deaths."
