All but University were scheduled for installation this summer already anyway, according to TO Inview.

Wonder how many of those vehicles actually paid for their parking on the street? Some likely overstayed their time, or are hoping they can park for "free" before any parking enforcement officer comes along.
Most parking in most downtown cities around the world have off-street parking. There is no need for street parking, especially during the day.

Got another link? I've turned on every filter available and it doesn't show me any work planned for University.All but University were scheduled for installation this summer already anyway, according to TO Inview.

Not just that, but free parking for the regularly parked people with the disabled parking permits.

Note the lack of ActiveTO cycling projects in Etobicoke. That's makes Stephen Holyday (Councillor for Ward 2 Etobicoke Centre) very happy.

Don't care, not today.
If this gets past Council it will be the most meaningful expansion of on-road cycling facilities in a generation (for Toronto).
We can fix Etobicoke later!

Ah, so the reason why Tory and co. are upset is a simple matter of wanting to be the ones to announce it. Got it.

Looking at it, Bloor St west and Danforth were scheduled this year already I believe.
The central part of Bloor is new though, as is Dundas, Faywood, University and Bayview.
Brimley and Huntingwood were ones that kept falling behind schedule, likely because of the local Councillor pushing it back. Good to see them here now.
Dundas and University are not in the official cycling plan, which is interesting. They are both very important projects, and its great to see.
Dundas will be the first time the TTC has allowed a road with active streetcar service to be reduced to 2 lanes to allow for cycling infrastructure. Up until now roads with streetcar service were always conveniently ignored in the cycling plan.
All in all this is very exciting. With Finch and Eglinton about to add significant other east-west cycle routes in the city, the city is on track to *finally* see a robust cycle network with few gaps. Exciting stuff for sure.

Interesting that the lane along The Esplanade from Yonge to Mill/Cherry is not listed. They have been consulting on it for months.

A key thing to note that the ActiveTO projects (that are outside the previously approved 2020 projects) will be constructed rapidly with temporary materials and minimal change to street design. It's designed to be easily modified where necessary, or removed altogether when normal traffic volumes return. So the cycling advocates will have plenty of work to do to ensure that we don't eventually lose some of these lanes.

There still isn't many north-south routes for cyclists to/from Union station, most of them stop at Adelaide.

Why stop the extended Bloor West lanes at Runnymede? They should be continued much farther west.

There's a few renderings of the new bike lanes in the report to city council. The designs will be similar to the former pilot projects on Bloor Street and Richmond/Adelaide.
