New external post Bloor Viaduct gets a new paint job from the blog Toronto-Danforth Ward 29 Bikes in the group Ward 29 Toronto-Danforth 2 months, 3 weeks ago Delete
The Bloor Viaduct is getting some fresh paint this week. On Tuesday night, city work crews laid out the first hint of what’s to come, painting thin guide marks for the full lane markings to follow. As Dan Egan detailed at our public meeting on Wednesday, the project will considerably widen the existing bike lanes along the entire length of the Viaduct and add new treatments to address the conflict zones at the DVP on-ramps identified in our 2008 Bloor Viaduct Safety Report. The new lanes are not only wider, but will [...]

New external post Ward 29 Bikes at Environment Day from the blog Toronto-Danforth Ward 29 Bikes in the group Ward 29 Toronto-Danforth 3 months, 2 weeks ago Delete
The Ward 29 Bikes information table at the local Community Environment Day a couple of Saturdays ago was quite popular, sandwiched as it was between the free compost and discount green bins. We spoke with dozens of cyclists, including three candidates for Ward 29 councillor in the upcoming municipal election, mayoral hopeful George Smitherman (above), and retiring councillor Case Ootes. The biggest concern among the people who visited our table was safety: they wanted safe, convenient, and well-maintained cycling routes [...]

Yeah, that construction lasted pretty much all summer. It was on my commuting route too. After my first flat on there I started turning down to Mortimer just past Coxwell. It was a shame too because the Cosburn bike lanes are fast and it was a breeze to time the lights.
I started using them again in the fall but the road was something mightily chewed up. Which is typical for the construction companies the city contracts out, they always make a huge mess of their repaving job.
