Acitta, you are suggesting to use an alternative route if I want to go faster. The whole reason this discussion started is because I don't believe an alternative route exists that accommodates users of all comfort levels. I don't believe suggesting Victoria St is helpful. I'm probably in the top 10% of the population in terms of comfort cycling in mixed traffic, and Victoria St is not a road I would cycle on.

If the goal is an alternative (to the Victoria Park loop trail) from Jubilee/Park to Jubilee/David, you could cross the bridge, take the connecting trail to IHT and then IHT to David St. David St is fairly low traffic and (in my opinion) rarely high speed: my wife is comfortable on David St and she certainly would not be on Victoria St.

This is a longer route but you might be able to bike at 25-30 km/h rather than 10-15 km/h.
