Alt text for image (paraphrased): Bill 60 amends Highway Traffic Act to stop municipalities building any bike lane that would involve road reconfigurations. It's based on spurious claims around what causes congestion, undermines municipal autonomy & will worsen the safety of vulnerable road users.

Today the ON gov't passed a bill which amends the Highway Traffic Act to ban municipalities from building any bike lane that would reconfigure roads.
We made a submission to Premier Doug Ford, Min. of Transport Prabmeet Sarkaria & Min. of Municipal Affairs & Housing Rob Flack.
