The provincial transport minister, Prabmeet Sarkaria, claims the province's plan will offset the C$11bn Toronto loses annually due to traffic congestion.
Critics argue that the government hasn't produced data to show that the bike lanes are causing significant delays compared to road construction. Instead, it's alleged that the policy is based on anecdotal evidence.
Olivia Chow articulated that removing bike lanes will worsen congestion, make roads less safe for cyclists, and echo the city council’s strong opposition against the provincial bill.
The city council’s decisive 21-4 vote against the bill indicates a significant stand against the provincial government's approach to infrastructure planning in Toronto.
