Ontario eyes barring new bike lanes where car lanes would be cut (www.cbc.ca)

The Ontario government is considering bringing forward legislation that could prohibit the installation of bike lanes when lanes for motor vehicles are removed as a result, sources say.

Siemiatycki said "this government has signalled that the car is king," pointing to prior steps the governing Progressive Conservatives (PCs) have taken to ease costs for drivers.

He sees the PCs as making a clear play for the votes of motorists, and believes the policy would also appeal to many drivers frustrated with congestion on the roads.

Yes, but then you have to be prepared to be verbally abused, honked at, hated, or even just plain hit by a car because drivers don't understand this.
