"It isn't enough to keep an eye on future bike lanes," Ford told the paying audience. "We need to and will remove and replace existing bike lanes on primary roads that are bringing traffic in our cities to a standstill."
Ford's comments follow an announcement Tuesday that his government will introduce legislation forcing local governments to get provincial approval for any new bike lanes that remove a lane of vehicle traffic.
Sarkaria said municipalities would need to retroactively justify any such cycling infrastructure installed in the last five years, referencing existing lanes on major roads in Toronto.
The announcement garnered criticism from opposition parties, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, which called for more collaborative approaches to urban planning.
