Much better, thanks!



Harbord and Montrose this morning,
Cyclists enjoying the new Bike Lane.

New Bike Lanes are in. Give 'em a try.

heh...you can already see a truck parked in the bike lane on the other side of the road! Assuming that's a bike lane over there too...

No. The bike lane on the other side is next to the parking spots.
Will have a closer look on the way home.

In the big version of the picture it looks like the bike lane curves out from the edge of the road to the outside of the parking lane. To me it looks like the truck is parked in the parking space, but its ass-end is drooping into the bike lane.

Hard to tell for sure fom this photo though. Size, perspective, etc.

Looks nice in the foreground, anyway!

Oh, I see what you mean, now.
Well, there will be people parked in the lane, that's the Toronto norm, of course.

I blogged and bitched about the need for some of the traffic calming efforts need to factor in the bicycle

so seldome does the urban planner take into account the bicycle

bike lanes and the door zone?

well...

we need more bike lanes
but
the cyclists need to know how to behave in the bike lanes and what to watch for

I have also grown to love the carless bike path

The bike lane flares out in the sections where parking is allowed. It makes the approach to Harbord much better, where you are not battling two lanes of traffic leading up to the corner.

Hey,thanks Joe.
And what about say fixing up Bloor to waay smoother pavement in your ward though it's a bit better, not raiding the bikelane budget for about $75,000 for a turn lane into Liberty Village and pushing the Front St. Extension. Oh, and bike lanes on Bloor St. too - that's another idea thanks.
