In Toronto, on any non-highway, as long as you are not causing delay & there's no crosswalk nearby, go for it.

These are Generation 3 of the "Toronto barrier" 💅🏽 LA Atlanta Seattle Boulder (Plus lots of Canadian Cities) Speaking of recent Toronto flooding, those massive gaps underneath are for drainage. Gen 1 didn't have them (only found on Lake Shore) Gen 2 onwards has them.

The bike lanes won't be replaced with a car lane - they'll become parking. That "side street route" (that doesn't exist) will require the removal of on-street parking & traffic calming to slow down motor vehicle traffic. The entire province is paying for it, not Toronto.

Design, accessibility, traffic design. Bike parking could provide delineation? Installing cane detectable unigranite beside a ramped curb within pavers is hilariously bad accessible design.

But I am an engineer. This decision contradicted itself multiple times, incl the responsibilities of engineers. It ignored data & tells us to design dangerous infrastructure, yet it doesn't assign responsibility for the consequences. It contradicts the obligations of our license.
