Honestly this seems like a huge overstepping of provincial power, and a huge waste of energy and tax dollars. Why should the ON government have to approve the addition of a bike lane? Obviously municipal elected officials will know more about what their municipality needs.

There doesn’t seem to be any evidence to back up the Ford governments claims about bike lanes. They do not increase congestion, they decrease it. They also increase patronage of businesses along the lanes. And, most importantly, they keep cyclists safe on roads. There have been 6 cycling fatalities this year in Toronto. 6 people were killed. The government should be investing their time in making cyclists safer, not setting up ridiculous bureaucratic road bumps to increasing safety.
