60km/h is pretty high. Should be 50km
Streetscape plan for Eglinton LRT gets interim approval
As work continues on digging for a light rail line under Eglinton, plans for a grand streetscape, with extra space for cyclists and pedestrians up above, moved one step closer to fruition.
Toronto`s Public Works Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to seek an environmental assessment on the proposed design and also to ask Metrolinx, the agency overseeing the LRT construction, to incorporate the design into its plans.
Perhaps the thread title could be changed to "Eglinton Connects streetscape improvements" or something since it's more than just bike lanes?

I get the sinking feeling that most or all of those buses will continue to terminate at the Yonge subway because the riders will not want to transfer at Leslie or Laird only to transfer again at Yonge.The amount of buses on the road is insanely high, you always see multiple buses on the road, and they are very high frequency. I would imagine that replacing all those buses with the underground LRT would already be giving a lot of road space to cars.
I disagree. I'm not a 'Spandex clad enthusiast' but I have ridden on Eglinton quite a bit between Yonge and Laird and it's pretty scary. I refuse to ride on the sidewalk because going 30km/h on the sidewalk is even more dangerous. These bike lanes will make riding on Eglinton a lot safer, and will encourage people to ride bikes on Eglinton.More on topic. With the exemption of the Spandex clad enthusiasts, with whom I have no problem, it must be noted and accepted that cyclists in the 'burbs ride on the sidewalk and they are very few and far between. They are not sufficiently numerous to even consider reserving a lane of precious road space for their use.

Any plans to bury the hydro lines as part of the "streetscape improvements"?

Do you mean Eglinton is the "'burbs"? What part?
