Except for the no parking signs, crossrides, width, and colour.
I'm fully cognizant of the fact that most of the drivers there probably do not notice these differences.
Frankly, the response is about right for what is by far the most disappointing project in my memory.
More misinformation:
"Upon completion, nNo Parking” signs will be erected placed on the west side of King Street"
Those signs have been there for 5 months now. Bylaw has been instructed not to enforce them.
More windshield perspective: "the work will be stopped at 5:00 pm each day to allow traffic to be fully re-opened on King Street during evening business hours."
Presumably bike lanes will not be opened, and probably continue to be blocked by cars as well, so it's not "fully" reopened.
Nor will the project even be completed until 2020 at the very earliest, 2021 or 2022 is much more likely.
Given the promise of bike lanes up King St. last year, I don't think it's even slightly exaggerating to say this is a huge disappointment in how this has been handled.
