I commute along Avenue Road…

I commute along Avenue Road/University Avenue to work, taking the bus or sometimes walking as the traffic can be agonizingly slow. However, the delays have nothing to do with cyclists or bike lanes. All of the slowdowns are caused by construction projects where developers have taken up lanes (for unbelievable lengths of time), TTC construction projects - which also always move at a insanely glacial pace, and pop up blockages that seem to occur on a different part of Avenue every day. There are so many positives to Toronto’s bike lane infrastructure, and as a Torontonian, I am very proud of it. Leave any decisions regarding bike lanes with the city where they belong, but it would be great if the Province could work with the city to better regulate traffic blockage due to construction and infrastructure projects. I’ll attach one picture of a development blockage from this week, but I could send you half a dozen from my 60 min walk in to work, all creating bottlenecks for the drivers.
