An Ontario law empowering the province to remove three major Toronto bike lanes is being tested in court by a group of cyclists who argue it's unconstitutional.
The law passed last year allows the province to remove protected bike lanes on Yonge Street, Bloor Street and University Avenue, and aims to shield the government from lawsuits if someone is hurt after they've been taken out.
Premier Doug Ford's Progressive Conservative government has said the law, which also requires municipalities across Ontario to get the province's approval for certain new bike lanes, is intended to help fight traffic gridlock.
