Oh farewell, middle lane on Jarvis...

1. You're confused, that urban myth is about the Bridle Path, not Rosedale. Have you driven there recently? The roads are/always have been fine.
2. The city decides when roads get updated. Private citizens do not have the the right to "refuse" maintenance.
3. A road would have to be almost destroyed before people would stop using it as a convenient route through the city.
Not everybody is in their 20's.

hopefully he will not try to start any BSR threads today then!
Well I am not a "cyclist" but do ride my bike often through the city.
I also live at the bottom of Jarvis and see everyday and worse on Fridays how traffic works/backups. Also with the Red light camera people still run the light at will.
All that being said I'm all for the Bike lanes on Jarvis.
Stating that yes there is a bike lane on Sherbourne, and no it's not enjoyable to share or get behind one of our wonderful buses that frequent a pretty horrible road in of itself.

People over 30 can't walk?
Of all the moronic things you've ever posted, that is possibly the most idiotic.
Kudos for raising a bar I always considered to high to possibly breach.
re: Bridle path. I had heard of this neighbourhood, but didn't know where it was. We decided to drive to Scarborough down Lawrence avenue from Jane Street and not take the 401. We're just past Yonge when the main street kind of disapeard, the road got all bumpy and crappy and the houses got huge. Hello bridle path. Crappy streets, huge houses.
Hi troll! Did I say that people over 30 can't walk? Hawk Eye was complaining about people not walking. Hawk Eye is in her 20's. I was pointing out that not everybody approaches transportation from her perspective. make sense?

You're a useless piece of shit, your contributions to this board are nothing but inflammatory and everyone should just ignore your existence online and in real life.
Congratz on your accomplishments troll
And I'm sure you're going to have a witty retort for this, I'm already applauding your attempt.

seconded. I avoided that lane like the plague
I ride my bike everyday to work starting spring.
A new bike lanes is good for cyclist, however putting a bike lane on Jarvis is not necessary, I'd rather see them on Queen St or King Street, Bloor lanes. Is this a REAL bike lanes or the fake ones all over the city that cars can cut into?

I assume by 'real' you mean separated lanes like this? I doubt they'd put that in.
personally, i'd prefer to see a bike lane on either Bathurst or Spadina (not really possible due to the gridlock there)...

Yeah one that went all the way from Bathurst/Queens Quay all the way up to Eglinton would be sick.
They're not elderly or disabled people. They're able bodied.
I want to commute to work except riding a bike north or south is hard for me as I have to hit up all the major streets. Mt. Pleasant is ridiculous. I'm a timid bike rider anyways as I don't bike often in the city. Cars speed on Mt. Pleasant and there are all these pot holes on the side of the road so you are trying to avoid them.. I think there needs to be more north/south bike lanes. So far i've only seen east/west.
Agree 100%; there is no reason to keep the downtown "car friendly" to that degree. Jarvis could have potential as a "grande avenue" but it needs to get much more pedestrian-friendly for that.

There still needs to be major arteries for cars going north and south (unless you want delivery trucks and other large vehicles on smaller streets), and I am extremely skeptical that this project is going to be the revitalization of Jarvis that it's being sold as. Other than hookers, there's really nothing on Jarvis that inspires people to walk and browse unless you're looking for drugs, and removing a lane isn't going to change that.
man WTF.
that middle lane is a pure GODSEND in driving around downtown.
god this city is so fucking retarded. Kinda like how they got rid of the left turn lanes on wellesly at church, and made a bike lane... yea.. that REALLY 'improved' things in that area at least....
so now the only two true thoroughfares through downtown... are richmond and adelaide.
way to go hippies. You got your fucking bike lanes. Grats.
