A few days ago the northbound cycle track on Lower Sherboune was CLOSED - by Metrolinx.
Their website explains:
This closure (or its timing) was a surprise to Councillor Mallik and is really silly. Yes, they need to do work on the bridge but the should have ONLY closed the track AT the bridge (not from QQE to The Esplanade) and should have redirected northbound bike traffic to share the south-bound bike track under the bridge. There are no suggested alternatives but Lower Jarvis is dangerous, Yonge is distant and already half closed due to watermain work and Cherry access is not easy (and it's distant).
Though I do not drive, it will NOT be fun for vehicles if/when they close the southbound lanes - all the southbound streets from Front to Lake Shore are VERY busy and VERY slow during PM rush hours.
