Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy has criticized the Ford government’s new legislation requiring provincial approval for municipal bike lanes that remove traffic lanes, calling it a distraction from addressing gridlock issues. Clancy argues that the decision is based on flimsy evidence from a single individual’s security camera and ignores substantial data showing that bike infrastructure can alleviate traffic congestion. She emphasizes the need for more transportation options and a comprehensive plan to improve public transit and urban planning, rather than a focus on limiting biking infrastructure.
