"An Ontario Superior Court judge ruled in July that a provincial law to remove three stretches of Toronto bike lanes is unconstitutional. The government appealed the decision and the Court of Appeal for Ontario is set to hear the case in January, but a statement Thursday from Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria says the government believes this latest move is still consistent with the lower-court ruling."
"Sarkaria says the work that is set to begin on or shortly after Oct. 20 will not remove bike lanes from Bloor Street W. between Resurrection Road and Clissold Road, rather it will reconfigure the road both to include bike lanes and restore a lane of vehicle traffic that was removed when the bike lanes first went in. Sarkaria says the bike lanes will include barrier curbs and bollards."
Ontario plans to restore a vehicle lane on Bloor Street W. between Resurrection Road and Clissold Road while retaining bike lanes protected by barrier curbs and bollards. Work is scheduled to begin on or shortly after Oct. 20. An Ontario Superior Court judge ruled in July that a provincial law to remove three stretches of Toronto bike lanes is unconstitutional; the province appealed and the Court of Appeal for Ontario will hear the case in January. Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria says the planned reconfiguration is consistent with the lower-court ruling. Premier Doug Ford called the lower-court decision ridiculous and ideological.
