The Ontario Superior Court has decided to block the Government of Ontario from enacting a bill that would remove protected bike lanes in Toronto that are commonly used by students. University of Toronto Student Eva Stanger-Ross and other applicants levelled a lawsuit against ON regarding the proposed removal of three protected bike lanes that reportedly travel through or near the campuses of OCAD University, Toronto Metropolitan University, and U of T. “Bike lanes are super important for student life,” explained Stanger-Ross. “A lot of students rely on those bike lanes for transportation.” University Affairs reports that faculty members from TMU and U of T also testified in the court case about the benefits of the bike lanes. ON intends to appeal the ruling.
