Judge ruled that the removal of the 3 bike lanes will put ‘people at increased risk of harm and death’
The judge ruled Wednesday that Cycle Toronto and others “have established that removal of the target bike lanes will put people at increased risk of harm and death, which engages the right to life and security of the person.”
That’s not the argument the decision makes. The law ordered the removal of bike lanes to improve traffic. Then they could not show that removing the bike lanes would improve traffic. So they’re taking an action that would endanger members of the public for no benefit.
If they could justify it then it could be saved under the reasonableness clause but they can’t.
