A media report suggested that among the lanes being eyed for removal are Bloor Street , Yonge Street and University Avenue .

The Bloor-Annex BIA released statistics touting the success of the Bloor bike lane, and other bike lanes in the Annex area, saying it was “dismayed” after hearing they could be removed.

Earlier this week , the Ford government introduced legislation that would ultimately give the province the power to dictate the fate of Toronto 's bike lanes.

1 million cyclists rode the Bloor Street bike lanes between Avenue Road and Shaw Street between February 2018 and February 2019 .

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario also weighed in on the legislation, saying: “We urge the province to respect local decision-making when considering transportation improvements and not repeat its mistakes of the past”.
