On August 14, 2026, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the Ford government would be allowed to remove nineteen kilometres of municipal protected bike lanes in Toronto. The 2024 bill which allowed for this was initially ruled to be unconstitutional by the Ontario Superior Court, before being appealed to the Court of Appeal. The new bill requires Ontario municipalities to seek approval from the provincial government before installing any cycling infrastructure that disturbs vehicular traffic. Upon the decision, hundreds of cyclists in Toronto organized multiple rides around the city to protest. Abacus Data polls report 64% of Ontarians disapprove.
