Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow is actively seeking to resolve local concerns regarding Bloor Street W. bike lanes, aiming to prevent provincial legislation that might restrict future bike lane installations.
Chow emphasized the ineffectiveness of legislative measures, stating, "Bringing in provincial legislation to tackle those issues is like using a big hammer to go after a fly," advocating for a more nuanced approach.
In an effort to engage with stakeholders, the mayor mentioned, "I've asked the premier to give me some time to work on it and I'm working on it flat out," indicating her commitment to find a workable solution.
The contentious bike infrastructure project has faced backlash, but Chow is hopeful, saying, "I'm trying to come up with a compromise that would re-open some car lanes but keep the bike lanes to make the design work better," reflecting her collaborative approach.
