An Ontario judge has ruled that the province’s plan to get rid of various designated bike lanes in Toronto is unconstitutional.

In his July 29 decision, Justice Paul Schabas said that the province’s plan to scrap 19 kilometres of designated bike lanes in downtown Toronto would raise the risk of injury to cyclists and would not reduce traffic jams, as the province had said.
