Installation of the cycle lanes began in mid-July. The new northbound and southbound cycle tracks on each side of Avenue Road, between Bloor Street and Davenport Road, will remove one motor vehicle lane in each direction - reducing travel lanes from six to four. The purpose of this motion is to request staff to monitor traffic data to assess impacts of the new bikeway on congestion conditions along the entirety of the Avenue Road Study area, by comparing travel times before and after bike lane installation. This matter is urgent and time sensitive to ensure that complete and accurate data is collected, as installation work has recently begun.
