Cycle Toronto has launched a Charter challenge against the Ford government’s new law that could remove three Toronto bike lanes.
The charity, along with two cyclists, Eva Stanger-Ross and Narada Kiondo, is seeking an injunction from Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice to prevent the removal of bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street and University Avenue.
The advocates have argued tearing the bike lanes out goes against the Charter’s guarantee to life, liberty and security of the person.
If the lanes are removed, “many thousands of Toronto cyclists will be forced to cycle in lanes shared with motor vehicle traffic” resulting in “heightened risk of injury and death,” Cycle Toronto argued in a statement of claim.
Gig delivery workers will be at particular risk because the nature of their work requires them to use the roads whether or not there are bike lanes, the cycling charity noted.
That’s actually about the only thing I’ll give him credit for. Almost a 20% increase. Still unlivable for most. But at least he actually did something.
Other than that, everything hes done is either absolutely corrupt or ridiculously stupid
The corruption is so blatantly obvious. It is a complete failure of our government and justice system. Pretty sure the RCMP are looking into his corruption, I’m of the opinion he shouldn’t be allowed to write any infrastructure or development bills until the investigation has passed.
The RCMP at least.
CSIS probably has a few volumes on him.
It’s more of a condemnation of every previous government all the way back to Harris than it crediting this one.
