Bike lanes are being installed on Bloor St. during August

Bloor Street between Shaw Street and Avenue Road should be avoided during the installation of bicycle lanes which is now ongoing. The bike lanes are part of a pilot project approved by city council in May. The project is said to be an attempt to discover the “impacts and benefits” of bikes lanes on Bloor.  All on-street parking will be removed on Bloor Street during the first few days of construction. About 1.3 percent of Canadians cycle to work every day.
