Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek Council authority to install on-street cycling facilities along Woodbine Avenue from O'Connor Drive to Queen Street East. Authority is also requested to install cycling facilities on Corley Avenue from Woodbine Avenue to Brookside Drive in order to improve connections to the proposed facilities on Woodbine Avenue.
The installation of cycling facilities on Woodbine Avenue was approved in principle as part of the recently adopted "Ten Year Cycling Network Plan". Subject to Council approval, Transportation Services proposes to install the cycling facilities in 2017.
Transportation Services recently completed a feasibility design study, reviewed associated traffic and parking impacts, and held public consultation for on-street cycling facilities along Woodbine Avenue and Corley Avenue. Future associated amendments are currently under consideration to permit lawful two-way cycling traffic on Norway Avenue from Woodbine Avenue to Elmer Avenue, however further community consultation is currently required.
The proposed cycling facilities include a combination of cycle track, which features separation elements (a painted buffer, parked cars and/or flexi-post bollards) between the bicycle lane and the traffic/parking lane, as well as painted bicycle lanes and shared use lane markings. A contra-flow bicycle lane is proposed on Corley Avenue from Woodbine Avenue to Brookside Drive.
