Dozens of cycling advocates rallied at Queen's Park on Saturday, a day after Ontario said the bike lanes on Bloor Street West in Etobicoke had been removed.
Bike lanes removed on Bloor Street West
1.2 km
The removed stretch of Bloor Street West in Etobicoke is 1.2 kilometres long.
Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria cited low use of the lanes and said the rest of the removals will come in the next construction cycle.
Cycle Toronto and other groups have asked the Supreme Court of Canada to hear their appeal of an Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that allowed the removals.
