Origin
Summary
This report presents the findings of an operational review of the Rogers Road bicycle lanes installed between Old Weston Road and Oakwood Avenue in 2008.
The installation of the bicycle lanes did not result in a reduction in the number of traffic lanes on Rogers Road. However, following the installation of these bicycle lanes there has been a slight decrease in motor vehicle volumes. The bicycle volumes are lower than other east-west bicycle lanes located south of Rogers Road (i.e., Annette and Dupont Streets) which is likely due to the lack of connections to other cycling infrastructure in this area of the city.
The current parking supply on Rogers Road significantly exceeds the parking demand during the day and overnight. Further, reported motor vehicle collisions have decreased by 13.4 percent, from 110 to 95.3 per year since the bicycle lanes were installed. In conclusion, Rogers Road continues to operate effectively and, with the future expansion of the Bikeway Network near Rogers Road, will likely see an increase in bicycle traffic on Rogers Road.
