Most of the Annette Street Bikelane has been approved by City Council, but a short portion between Runnymede and Jane has been held up by bikelane-phobic area merchants.
Essentially, businesses think bikelanes will hurt their businesses, and want the bikelane moved to a parallel street, while cycling advocates are trying to convince them that bikelanes slow down car traffic and create safer pedestrian realms.
The other bikelanes proposed (Marlee, Dupont and Pharmacy) were approved - you can read more information about these in the BikeToronto.ca post about it.
