CycleWR<p>Today’s court ruling on bike lane legislation in Ontario is important in Waterloo Region as well. City of Waterloo Mayor Dorothy McCabe shares her thoughts:</p><p>"Mayor McCabe, who is also a regional councillor, said for years the region has had a policy in place that says when regional roads are redeveloped, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and separated bike lanes will be added. She said after today’s ruling, there’s no reason to take a different approach. ‘The province has an important jurisdiction. The federal government has an important jurisdiction. And municipal parties have important jurisdictional responsibilities. And I think we collaborate when we need to, but we know our communities best. And I think the court is reaffirming that. So I’m pleased to see that,’ she told CTV News.”</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cycling</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WaterlooRegion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WaterlooRegion</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/article/waterloos-mayor-reacts-to-ruling-striking-down-fords-plan-to-rip-up-bike-lanes/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">ctvnews.ca/kitchener/article/w</span><span class="invisible">aterloos-mayor-reacts-to-ruling-striking-down-fords-plan-to-rip-up-bike-lanes/</span></a></p>
