Police and ambulance were on site, bicycle sitting in the southbound lane, one older gentleman with his face covered in blood. I was concentrating on getting through safely and not causing more trouble so couldn’t look closely, but I got the impression it was south of the intersection with Moore and where the LRT tracks cross the motor vehicle lane. So I can’t tell if it was directly related to the tracks or something else gone wrong.
Frankly, I've said it a few times but I strongly believe that the engineers who designed that should lose their licenses.
Not sure if it's the engineers that are at fault. More or less the brain trust, or lack of, with government officials. What I would have liked was for the LRT to choseb 1 side of the street it was going to function on, either the centre, or in the right lane. Not both. Obviously this criss-crossing, especially at King and Moore is causing serious issues.
What I would like to know is if at some point if someone had asked the question: "How will this affect cyclists? Will it have a negative effect on them?" For some reason, I have to believe this question *was* asked, and brought up, but was ignored. It's like the hydro corridor beside Fairway Rd. How did that get missed? I know I brought it up with an MPP, but nothing came of that, clearly.
