We got bike lanes after all!!They're on both sides of King on the brand-new paved section. I expect to see 'em all the way up along King as that final layer goes down and the markings go on!
I visited yesterday, because I was curious. I can say with good confidence that there are no bike lanes of any description from the Waterloo Spur down to Allen St. From there, there is a space that could be used as a bike lane but has no indication of officially being one, until almost Union. Northbound, there is a similar space from Union north to almost John St., where it suddenly disappears and does not re-appear. Unfortunate, because there is ample space almost everywhere (the Allen Station is the only place where there is a real shortage of space), they just didn’t think about bikes when designing the LRT.
Which is weird. They are holding public meetings about installing sidewalk on one block of one side of Westmount. Why weren’t public meetings held to validate the detailed street design associated with the LRT?
