“The decision from Ontario’s Court of Appeal is a win for common sense and for elected governments’ ability to make decisions in the public interest.
“The appeal court made clear that governments have the authority to make and change transportation policy and that there is no constitutional right to a bike lane.
“Albertans expect their government to make transportation decisions based on what works for our communities.
“That is exactly what we are doing in Alberta.
“Our government is developing legislation to make sure transportation infrastructure works for all road users.
“The Ontario Court of Appeal’s findings will be carefully considered as we finalize our legislation.
“Albertans elected us to make decisions that put their safety and quality of life first, and that’s exactly what we will continue to do.
“For too long, transportation decisions have been driven by ideology rather than common sense.
“We need to consider how infrastructure works for everyone who uses our roads.”
