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.

    This is such a municipal issue it’s annoying to see the Province wanting to butt in in the first place.

      This is what bugs me about the Ford government

      They want none of the responsibilities or finances of a provincial government, and they constantly want to step in to municipal issues and politics.
