Over 40 businesses in Etobicoke have initiated a lawsuit against the City of Toronto, its transportation manager, and a local councillor over the installation of bike lanes on Bloor Street W. They are seeking $10 million for alleged negligence and nuisance. The lawsuit claims that the consultation process for the bike lanes was inadequate and that the lanes have negatively impacted business operations, causing traffic congestion. The plaintiffs are also requesting an injunction to remove the bike lanes in favor of increased vehicle access.
The lawsuit claims that the city's planning and consultation process was "willfully lacking in candour" and did not adequately engage with business owners affected by the bike lanes.
The group of businesses, including restaurants and retailers, argues that the bike lane installation has caused severe traffic congestion and harmed their operations.
