Summary

I am writing to you today about Cycling safety on Logan Avenue. Logan Avenue is an important connection between the Danforth and the Lakeshore. However between Dundas and Eastern there are no bike lanes, which can lead to conflicts between vehicles and cyclists.

Transportation Services have identified Logan in their long-term plan for upgrades, but due to the Ontario Line Construction impacting the lanes between Dundas and Gerrard they have deferred consideration of any changes into the future.

A recent serious injury to a cyclist on Logan underscores the need to implement measures ahead of any permanent upgrades.
