We just reduced this great condo to $314,900 The popularity of biking as an alternative means of transportation continues to grow, and with it, so does the demand for improved and increased dedicated lanes on city and suburban streets. Here’s a look at the status of bike lanes across Toronto and parts of the GTA.
Toronto mayor Rob Ford recently released his proposal for a city cycling plan. The plan includes constructing a network of bike lanes physically separated from traffic. The lanes would be built on Sherbourne, Wellesley, Harbord, Beverly, John and Richmond streets. A June 1 telephone survey of over 1,000 Torontonians found that 72% of those polled would support separated bike lanes.
In April, York Region launched York Cycling, an online resource for cyclists in the region’s nine municipalities. The website lists events and news, safety tips, and construction alerts to inform people of impacted bike routes. The most impressive feature is an interactive map that helps cyclists plan their routes.
The city of Hamilton, which already maintains a network of bike lanes, is currently working on the construction of additional lanes and a multi-use trail set to open this summer. The city has also published maps of cycling lanes and paths available at www.hamilton.ca or at locations throughout the city, including libraries and bike shops.
In Oshawa, officials are working on releasing a strategic plan on cycling by the end of the year. The city, which last released such a plan in 1999, currently has only a few on-road bike lanes.
