Toronto mayoralty candidate Anthony Furey has launched a petition on his campaign website to slow the installation of new bike lanes in Toronto, and in some cases reverse them.
Toronto Mayoral candidate Anthony Furey said as Mayor he will halt Toronto’s “outrageous” pledge to create new dedicated bike lanes throughout the city and will remove the University Avenue dedicated lanes.
“The current approach to bike lanes in Toronto is outrageous — it has just gone too far,” says Furey.

There will only be pedestrian access to Queen Street, from Bay Street to Yonge Street and Yonge Street to Victoria Street, for an estimated four and half years. This diversion is to accelerate Metrolinx’s construction of an Ontario Line connection to TTC Queen Station.
