Description
Ontarios Freedom of Information System Under Fire: Bike Lane Emails Stuck in Limbo
The Toronto Stars request for emails about bike lane removal has been delayed, despite the Information and Privacy Commissioners order. Transparency experts call the system broken, with delays rendering records useless. A new law could exempt politicians from FOI rules, potentially killing the Stars request and others. Bike lane docs reveal government research suggesting removal might not ease traffic and could spike cyclist crashes. Advocates push for penalties on delays, but the transparency tug-of-war continues.
