Ontario transport minister makes announcement after hinting bike lane legislation is coming | CBC News
Briefly

"Our province is stuck in traffic and bike lanes aren't helping," Sarkaria stated, arguing that the introduction of bike lanes is not alleviating traffic congestion but rather contributing to it.
"In the coming days our government will unveil our plan to work with our municipal partners to ensure bike lanes are introduced in a way that reflects the needs of the entire community," said Sarkaria, indicating a shift to more localized planning.
The government has faced criticism for blaming bike lanes for increased congestion, as neither Sarkaria nor Ford have provided concrete evidence to support their claims about the negative impact of bike lanes on traffic.
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow's public request to Ford emphasized the necessity for a balanced approach to addressing the contentious issue of bike lanes amidst complaints from residents and businesses.
