Committee Recommendations

The Public Works and Infrastructure Committee recommends that:

 

1.         City Council approve the installation of a westbound contra-flow bicycle lane on Dixon Avenue, from Woodbine Avenue to Lockwood Road and an eastbound contra-flow bicycle lane from Kingston Road to Lockwood Road, as described in Appendix 1 – Amendments to Bicycle Lane Designations, attached to the report (May 15, 2014) from the General Manager, Transportation Services.

 

2.         City Council approve the amendments to traffic and parking regulations required to install contra-flow bicycle lanes on Dixon Avenue, as described in Appendix 2 – Amendments to Traffic and Parking Regulations, attached to the report (May 15, 2014) from the General Manager, Transportation Services.

Origin

(May 15, 2014) Report from the General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

The purpose of this report is to recommend the installation of contra-flow bicycle lanes on Dixon Avenue, from Kingston Road to Woodbine Avenue. Currently there are bicycle lanes on Dundas Street East which are part of a continuous bikeway that connects cyclists from River Street in the west to Kingston Road in the east. The proposed Dixon Avenue contra-flow bicycle lane would extend the bikeway further east to Woodbine Avenue and provide access to the neighbourhoods south and east of Kingston Road.

 

There will be no impact on parking or traffic operations as a result of the installation of the proposed contra-flow bicycle lanes. At the public consultation meeting community participants were generally supportive of the proposed contra-flow bicycle lane.
