This Monday (May 25th) the Advocacy for Respect for Cyclists, as part of Bike Month, will carry out a Guaranteed Bike Lane on College St. They will be realigning the bike lane to get around any parked cars in the bike lane proper. They may have some company.
A second group of cyclists claiming to represent cyclists from the outer reaches of Toronto will be blocking the College St bike lane at the same time as ARC is trying to unblock it. They want to bring attention to the issue of the City ignoring the needs of cyclists who do not live downtown. Please note, at this point the information of this blockade is not very credible and should only be considered a rumour. It is worth a look see though, might get quite interesting.
Here is the information for ARC's event. Will post any info we get from the second group as it becomes available.
Motor vehicles parked in painted bike lanes constitute a significant safety hazard. A team of ARC Cyclist Safety Ambassadors will be on hand to place safety markers around motor vehicles parked within painted bike lanes, to assist cyclists to safely navigate around the hazard.
Look for us on College between McCaul and Huron.
