On the agenda

As the city filed it

At its meeting held on July 16, 17 and 18, 2019, City Council adopted without amendment Item IE6.12 entitled "Cycling Network Plan: 2019 Cycling Infrastructure Installation" and, in so doing, enacted a number of amendments to bicycle lane and traffic and parking regulations on Vaughan Road. However, there have been concerns raised by the community about sightline concerns due to angled driveways at a portion of the street where the bike lanes are supposed to be installed in.

Furthermore, there were concerns over loss of parking space and the inconsistency of the design with previously installed bike lanes, further south on Vaughan Road. After extensive consultation with the community, Transportation Services, and the Public Consultations Unit, we have come to an agreement that would eliminate the sightline concerns and minimize parking impacts, while ensuring we provide the extension of safe biking facilities to our constituents. This matter is urgent as the contract has already been awarded and the contractors have been given the designs previously approved by Council. The contractors need all the new designs and permits necessary to undertake the work, which is scheduled for Fall 2019 through Spring 2020. Transportation Services staff have been consulted regarding the above and have no concerns with the requested amendments below. REQUIRES RE-OPENING: Infrastructure and Environment Committee Item IE6.12 entitled "Cycling Network Plan: 2019 Cycling Infrastructure Installation" as adopted by City Council on July 16, 17 and 18, 2019 only as it pertains to bicycle lanes on Vaughan Road and related traffic and parking regulations.
