The government is seeking input on CARGO BIKES: https://www.regulatoryregistry.gov.on.ca/proposal/53033
Where permitted by municipal by-law, cargo e-bikes may operate anywhere bicycles are allowed, including public roadways, bike lanes, and cycle tracks. Municipalities may set additional restrictions, such as limiting access to multi-use paths based on vehicle weight or size.
The ministry is proposing to extend the pilot for an additional five years, until March 1, 2031, to continue evaluating the feasibility of cargo e-bike use. This extension will enable MTO to gather additional data to support its ongoing review and analysis of cargo e-bikes, providing a clearer understanding of the program's impact and guiding future policy decisions.
No additional changes are proposed to the existing cargo e-bike pilot program rules and requirements.
For more information on Ontario's Cargo E-Bike Pilot Program, visit: https://www.ontario.ca/page/cargo-e-bike-pilot-program
We appreciate your input and invite you to submit comments for MTO's consideration.

Though things can certainly still change as the budget process moves onwards, the Staff "Budget Briefings" are usually a good source of info. The briefing on Cycling Infrastructure has just been revised and reissued. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2026/bu/bgrd/backgroundfile-264641.pdf Those who keep up with the fine details may find items of concern or celebration!

I saw in this document they are targeting 24.5 km of new bikeways for this year, as well as 4 km of upgrades. Certainly a lot better than this past year, but still well off the 33 km pace needed to fulfil the 2025-27 bike plan.

No. FOCH (there's a grape variety, and a general) is "fosh". But Foche would be pronounced the same
