Whatever direction the province has issued in writing, and the legislation it has tabled, settle both directions.
People arguing in both directions raised this question, and every claim they made about it is checked, whichever way it points.

What happened to the Province’s direction to stop future bike lanes from proceeding until they have a plan where traffic will be able to get through the city

perhaps you should be following provincial stop orders as you've been given prior notifications of upcoming legislation that do not support a lot of your current plans.

in contempt of provincial orders to stop the destruction of our infrastructure. Come fall they will be ordered to remove bike lanes including previously built ones off all arterial roads
