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.

Siemiatycki said "this government has signalled that the car is king," pointing to prior steps the governing Progressive Conservatives (PCs) have taken to ease costs for drivers.

He sees the PCs as making a clear play for the votes of motorists, and believes the policy would also appeal to many drivers frustrated with congestion on the roads.

Been watching the Q&A with this guy... total clown. He evaded every question about bike lanes and keeps pounding the idea that "We will always be building! [more roads]".

I will tell you one thing, I'm not usually one to take the lane unless absolutely necessary, but I'd be happy to do so every time in protest of any Ontario's proposed actions to go backwards on sane, cycling infrastructure.

Also, the focus is always about reducing congestion and gridlock... guys, YOU ARE THE CONGESTION AND GRIDLOCK! Stop making cars the only way to travel, and you'll magically solve your problem.
