Why should an entire province get the final say in a project that realistically only impacts a couple neighborhoods at best?
None of Doug Ford’s friends are heavily invested in bicycle manufacturers, I guess.
Clearly municipalities can’t be trusted to hold the provincial government’s leaders’ financial interests. More bike lanes means more people on bikes, meaning fewer cars being sold, meaning less money available for schmoozing from the auto industry. We can’t have that, it’s bad for the economy, or something.

Bro. Just one more lane for cars, bro. I swear, I’ll stop after that. I promise one more lane will fix it, then I’ll stop.
The myth of consent.
Townspeople: I consent to a bike lane!
City Council: I consent to a bike lane!
Doug Ford: I don’t!
Is there someone you forgot to ask?
Are cities creatures of the province in all of Canada or does it depend on the province/territory?
All
Thanks. Also, fuck.
It might be okay. Let people read the rules passed down, as maybe there’s legal loopholes in there that can be exploited. Maybe the municipality can still close roads or remove lanes. Once you’re not putting a bike lane on street, the rules don’t matter.
