The Ministry’s mandate to assess whether a bike lane would "unduly diminish" motor vehicle traffic flow could unintentionally prioritize vehicle capacity over active transportation. Considering Ontario’s objectives to promote sustainable, safe, and inclusive transportation networks, recognizing bicycle lanes as a critical infrastructure component that supports public health and alleviates congestion could be advantageous. This approach would align with the province's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and promoting active transportation.
