Ontario to require provincial approval for new municipal bike lanes

The Ontario government says it will introduce legislation that would require municipalities to get provincial approval before building any new bike lanes that reduce lanes of vehicle traffic.

Municipalities would need to demonstrate any proposed bike lanes will not have a “negative impact in vehicle traffic,” according to the province.

The government will also request data from municipalities on bike lane projects initiated in the last five years, Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria said Tuesday in Toronto.

A good move. Toronto being run by lunatics has miles of bike lanes that see few riders.
