A plan to expand so-called bus by-pass lanes along the Don Valley Parkway is moving ahead. The idea expands on a pilot project of by-pass lanes already in use. The new proposed lanes extend from approximately St. Dennis Drive to Pottery Road. The lanes would permit buses to pass slow traffic. It is a project proposed by GO Transit. The expanded lanes have now passed Environmental Assessment. The project is comprised of 4.1 kilometres of new bus by-pass lanes in two separate sections of the DVP between St. Dennis Drive and Pottery Road. More on this in the Daily Commercial News.
