Bylaw charges have now been laid against two companies accused of leaving a garbage bin in a downtown bike lane where a cyclist died last month.

In an email to CP24, the city said both general contractor Mass Contracting LTD and disposal bin company Ontario Trucking and Disposal LTD have been charged with causing encumbering of a street.

A 24-year-old female cyclist was biking in the area of Bloor Street and Avenue Road on July 25 when she exited the bike lane and was hit by a dump truck, police said previously. She was pronounced dead at the scene. “This network, this chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” he said of the city’s cycling infrastructure. “If we're not prioritizing, making sure the bikeways are clear and accessible and not blocked ... it really undermines the effectiveness of that entire network, and it puts people's lives at risk.”
