But what might this mean for Bike Share Toronto? The program once known as BIXI was saved from bankruptcy by the Toronto Parking Authority and has since blossomed into the 3rd biggest in North America (by annual trips).

Bike lanes are a proven traffic calming measure. Yet the province wants to ban municipalities from installing new ones under Bill 60. Is it possible none of this is about solving traffic congestion or making roads safer but purely just a bad faith culture war??
Abacus Data’s new survey shows Ontarians see traffic calming features as a more effective safety tool than automated speed cameras.
Younger adults, parents and PC voters are especially supportive.

Make no mistake. The bike lane provisions in Bill 60 are bad for Toronto. But they're WORSE for the rest of the province which to-date has been largely unscathed in Bill 212's aftermath. Kudos to @bikeottawa.bsky.social and advocates fighting back across Ontario.

Bill 212 at least pretended it would set criteria for new bike lanes. Bill 60 drops the pretense. Cycle Toronto deputed at Executive Committee to warn about the poison pill that would take power away from people and their communities and give it to cars.
