A new provincial regulation requires the Minister to remove all bicycle lanes on Bloor Street West between Clissold Road and Royal York Road in Toronto, overriding a provision of the Highway Traffic Act that would otherwise apply. The Minister is also permitted to remove or reconfigure related infrastructure connected to those lanes. This directly affects road users, cyclists, and businesses along that stretch of Bloor Street West. Cyclists who currently use this infrastructure should be aware it will be removed and plan alternative routes accordingly. Businesses and property owners in the area may see changes to adjacent streetscaping or road features as part of the removal process.
