5 h. ago Toronto neighbourhood shaming businesses suing over bike lanes

Bike lanes have proven to be an extremely divisive topic in Ontario, especially in Toronto, where Premier Doug Ford is going as far as removing select cycle tracks to convert lanes back to mixed-use traffic, reversing multiple years and millions of dollars of worth of construction work led by the City.As various groups continue to express strong support for or oppposition against Ford's plans, one group of 40-odd businesses is taking their dissent with the infrastructure type to a new level, launching a lawsuit against the City over its ever-growing cycling network.But, a few days after the legal action became public, there is already some backlash from members of the community.A statement of claim filed with the Superior Court of Justice on February 21 alleges that the City and its transportation manager "manipulated the public consultation process to minimize opposition and exaggerate support" for new bike lanes along Bloor Street West, and ...

9 h. ago Toronto is renovating two bridges with bike lanes and here's what they will look like

In spite of Premier Doug Ford's anti-bike lane sentiments and legislation, the City of Toronto is moving to transform a number of streets to better prioritize pedestrians and cyclists under the assumption that so long as no traffic lanes are removed during the revamps, the projects won't be subject to the province's new Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act.Among the numerous kilometres of roadway eyed for the new infrastructure are two bridges due to be replaced to help prevent flooding in the Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhood, which is designated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) as one of the most at-risk for river overflows and backups during storms.The two viaducts, which are 1960s-era and cross over Black Creek at Jane Street and Scarlett Road, will be reconstructed and increased in height as nearby flood channels are expanded and the surrounding land is stabilized.At the same time, the roadways will also be widened, and ...
