The lanes will be off to the sides as per normal..I thought it was a middle road thing as well. This will however ensure a massive kerfeckery in the Jarvis-redux project time span. Widening sidewalks, adding the lanes, tress, redoing the entirety of Jarvis' lines...repaving?

I was thinking maybe we could just keep bike week on the dl next year?

they should just fix the bike lanes on sherbourne

they already spent the money to install those, it's only one major street over, and they are in miserable shape

I hope they ninja some bike lanes onto Bloor while wrapping up the construction. Just spray them down - don't mention it to no one.

just as a headsup to the TO thread:

my single speed is complete, and thanks to all that contributed to its budget-constrained greatness.

it will join me, wife and dog on the 29km Niagara Falls loop, this coming weekend!

if anyone has been on any of the Niagara trails, pls chime in as there is no mention of difficulty range on any of the sites I have looked at.

I ride down Jarvis every day and take the entire right lane, never had an issue. I don't know why everything has to be such a battle all the time man, I don't even see much use for bike lanes and now we've got drivers being hostile over some crap I never wanted in the first place.

Also I'm boycotting the Star after this war on cars bull****. I've been honked at maybe three times in the past six months, haven't flipped the bird a single time and now suddenly I'm at war? When the **** did that happen?
