Bikes v cars: backlash after Ontario premier threatens to tear up cycling lanes in Toronto (www.theguardian.com)

Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s plan to remove key Toronto bike lanes, citing congestion, has sparked backlash from city officials, cyclists, and safety advocates.

Critics argue there’s no data proving bike lanes worsen traffic, pointing instead to their role in reducing accidents and supporting safe commutes.

Removing the lanes could cost C$48M and disrupt years of planning. Advocates claim Ford’s stance is political, appealing to suburban voters while endangering cyclists.

With rising cyclist fatalities, opponents warn the move risks worsening safety and intensifying tensions between road users.
