Theyre coming out: Ford says he will remove bike lanes from 3 Toronto streets [Video]

Just one day after the Ford government tabled legislation to review all existing bike lanes in Ontario, the premier is strongly suggesting the decision on at least three routes has already been made.

On Monday, Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria introduced legislation that would require provincial approval to install new bike lanes in any Ontario municipality and would prohibit new separated lanes if infrastructure interferes with existing vehicle traffic.

The law would also give the province the power to review all cycling infrastructure installed over the last five years and the authority to order its removal.

As he left a Progressive Conservative caucus meeting at Queen’s Park on Tuesday, Premier Doug Ford told Global News his government has already identified three routes to be targeted for removal.

“Three that stand out is Bloor Street, Yonge Street and hospital row (University Avenue),” Ford said. “We’re going to work with the city and hopefully they can put them on secondary roads.”
