The property company that came under fire for cutting locks off Toronto cyclists' bikes has put the brakes on its policy.
Brookfield Properties said Friday it will no longer remove or cut the locks off bicycles tethered to a TTC pole in front of its property at Bloor and Yonge streets.
"We're getting the security guards to talk to the riders or we're just going to put a little tag on the bike," said Andrew Willis, senior vice- president with Brookfield.
On Thursday Toronto cyclist Lisa Ferguson told reporters that the day before a security guard had removed her bicycle from the TTC pole and confiscated it, claiming it was a public-safety concern.
Mr. Willis said executives at the head office level were not aware security guards were cutting locks and confiscating bikes.
"Since we realized … we stopped cutting bike locks. I apologized to Lisa, bought her a new lock," he said.
Ms. Ferguson got her bike back instantly, he said. All other remaining confiscated bikes in the building have also been retrieved, he said.
Mr. Willis said the policy was intended to promote public safety after a woman reportedly walked into a bike and was injured in 2009.
The new tag will tell the cyclist the bicycle is parked in a place Brookfield believes is unsafe.
