Ottawa Now - Why a new provincial legislation could be bad news for bike lanes
November 6, 2025
On Wednesday, the Ford government introduced a motion to fast-track an omnibus bill that would bypass committee hearings entirely. This comes as a proposed provincial legislation would bar municipalities from building new bike lanes if they replaced a lane of vehicle traffic, potentially jeopardizing plans to expand Ottawa’s bike infrastructure. Rob Attrell, a Board Member with Bike Ottawa, outlines his concerns on today's Ottawa Now. He feels that Bill 60 ignores the hard work and planning that the City of Ottawa is already doing, and that Queen's Park should stay in their lane.

The historic village of Calixa-Lavallée is named after the man who composed the Canadian national anthem, so perhaps it’s no surprise its residents take their civic duty seriously.While nearby Montreal reported a voter turnout of 37 per cent in Sunday’s municipal elections, more than 78 per cent of the registered voters in the off-island, 500-person South Shore suburb showed up to cast a ballot.
