Origin
Summary
The reconstruction of Bay Street, from Bloor Street West to Davenport Road provides an opportunity to close a gap in the Bikeway Network on Bay Street. The existing bicycle lanes on Bay Street are being extended south from Cumberland Street to a point 30 metres south of Bloor Street West to provide a continuous, connected bikeway on Bay Street.
City Council, at its meeting of February 20 and 21, 2013, adopted as amended the staff report, titled "Road Alteration – Bay Street, Between Davenport Road and Bloor Street West" (TE21.58), authorising the road alterations necessary for the reconstruction of Bay Street, between Bloor Street West and Davenport Road as part of the 2013 Capital Works Program. The purpose of this report is to obtain Council approval to implement bicycle lanes on Bay Street from Cumberland Street to a point 30 metres south of Bloor Street West.
