Ontario government eyes new restrictions on bike lanes (www.cbc.ca)

The Ontario government is considering bringing forward legislation that could prohibit the installation of bike lanes when lanes for motor vehicles are removed as a result, sources say.

CBC News has obtained internal government draft documents indicating such a proposal has been under consideration, which several sources with knowledge of the proposed bill confirmed. It is not, however, clear if the measure has been formally brought before cabinet.

The provincial government declined to comment to CBC News on the measures outlined in the documents.

In Toronto and its surrounding areas, gridlock has been a continuing headache and political issue. Ontario Premier Doug Ford has said his government intends to address the issue in upcoming legislation.

The documents viewed by CBC News also outline possible measures to speed the building of designated priority highway projects, such as Highway 413. The possibility of allowing 24/7 construction is one of the measures the government is mulling, sources say.

They think the solution to too many cars on the road is MoRe RoAdS.
