$16 million, ten-year plan to double bike lane network

Toronto City Council has voted 38-2 in favour of the plan that will double the size of the bicycle lane network. It approves eight major streets that could be re-configured to include bike lanes, or bikeways — cycling routes that are separated from traffic lanes by concrete curbs or bollards. It will cost $16 million. By this plan, to be built over ten years, bike lanes or bikeways could appear on stretches of:

  • Yonge Street, downtown and in North York
  • Bloor Street
  • Danforth Avenue
  • Jane Street
  • Kingston Road
  • Kipling Avenue
  • Midland Avenue
  • Lakeshore Boulevard W.
