Halifax's green bike lane posts draw criticism from cycling advocates
Cyclists say the green posts make bike lanes like Bell Road too narrow. HRM says the posts are temporary while permanent fix is planned.

What do premiers Doug Ford (Ontario) and David Eby (BC) have in common? 'Bikelash' - political attacks on walking, rolling and cycling! (I understand Ford's motivations, but Eby's are a mystery.)

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.
