The Ontario government is considering bringing forward legislation that could prohibit the installation of bike lanes when lanes for motor vehicles are removed as a result, sources say.

Siemiatycki said "this government has signalled that the car is king," pointing to prior steps the governing Progressive Conservatives (PCs) have taken to ease costs for drivers.

He sees the PCs as making a clear play for the votes of motorists, and believes the policy would also appeal to many drivers frustrated with congestion on the roads.

What an insane law

"Our municipality has determined the best thing to do is install bike lanes, to improve active transport and make an area more liveable"

"No you don't"

"No you don't" is basically Ford's response to most things Toronto wants to get.
