Toronto cyclists ask Canada's top court to weigh in on Ford's bike lane removal plan

Cycle Toronto and co-applicants said Tuesday they will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada to stop Ontario’s plan to remove bike lanes on three major Toronto roads. As CBC’s Mercedes Gaztambide explains, advocacy group leaders argue the move threatens cyclist safety, while the province maintains removing the lanes will ease traffic congestion.
