Just when you think it can’t get worse, it does. Not only does the Ford government want to ban speed cameras in school zones (Bill 56):
“Part XIV.1, which authorizes the use of automated speed enforcement systems, is repealed.”
Now it wants to ban cities from reconfiguring streets to install bike lanes (Bill 60).
“A new section sets out situations in which a municipality shall not reduce or permit a reduction in the number of lanes that are available for use by motor vehicles and makes changes to the related regulation-making powers. Amendments are also made respecting the reimbursement of municipalities that provide support or information respecting the removal or reconfiguration of bicycle lanes required under the Act.”
