Looks like the new bike lane markings are being outlined, even in advance of the official August 4 start date for construction. I had to go check this out this evening.
The new markings start just west of Dufferin.
Here you can get a sense of the width of the bike lane and the adjacent buffer.
The protection along most of the westward extension will be curbs topped with bollards like in this artist’s sketch.
The buffer gets considerably wider as the bike lane goes under the bridge. Hoping for more robust protection in this section.
The buffer gets really narrow as you go up the hill towards Symington.
As of early Tuesday night, the markings only went as far as Symington. There is nothing marked under the second bridge at this point.
Very exciting to see even these small signs of what is to come.
