Doug Ford’s bid to remove Toronto bike lanes faces its first legal hurdle

Premier Doug Ford government’s plan to rip up Toronto’s bike lanes faces its first legal challenge on Tuesday morning, with a hearing scheduled for a temporary injunction that could pause their removal for three weeks.

Cycle Toronto sought the injunction after Justice Markus Koehnen “strongly” urged the provincial government on Jan. 8 to pause its removal of bike lanes on Bloor, Yonge and University Streets until the cycling advocacy group’s Charter challenge hearing scheduled for April 16.
