New Bikelanes on Pond Road and Birchmount Road

posted by Joe on 9/16/2008 | 1 Comments |

The City of Toronto has just finished painting two new bikelanes! Specifically Pond Road up at York University (between Sentinel and Shoreham) and a big 2.5 km stretch on in Scarborough on Birchmount Road (between St. Clair East and Kingston Road).

They are having Bike Lane Opening Events for these two bikelanes (just like they did with Logan, Vaughan Rd and Finch). I've put all the details in blog posts over in the Events Blog for you:

Pond Road Bike Lane Opening (Mon, Sept. 22, 1-3pm)
Birchmount Road Bike Lane Opening (Tues, Sept. 23, 3:30-5:30pm)

Also, I've updated the Bikelanes Map with these new bikelanes too.

They have improved Birchmount Rd. from two lanes of car traffic in each direction, to one car lane and one bike lane in each direction and a centre left turn lane, which is good for both cars and bikes. This a really welcome addition to Ward 35, previously bereft of bike lanes. Are we finally seeing signs of sensible action on bike lanes?
