Ford government says it will move ahead with ripping out bike lanes on stretch of Bloor Street

The Ford government says it is immediately starting to remove bike lanes along a stretch of Bloor Street West and is moving forward with plans to strip lanes from two other major Toronto arteries. “Following the recent ruling from the Ontario Court of Appeal, the provincial government has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to begin the process of restoring motor vehicle lanes that were previously removed for bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, University Avenue, Queen’s Park, Queen’s Park Crescent and Avenue Road in Toronto,” a news release from the provincial government read. “The province is also immediately beginning to restore motor vehicle lanes on Bloor Street West, starting east of a 600-metre section at Clissold Road where vehicle lanes were restored in December 2025.” According to the province, the RFP will be to study and provide design options for removing bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, University Avenue, Queen’s Park, Queen’s Park Crescent and Avenue Road.
