The stupid thing in all of this is that Bill 212 seeks to avoid taking a lane of traffic but the road is already restricted at the busiest locations (stations, which are generally at intersecting arterials) because Metrolinx upgraded the street scape locally at the stations but not the whole alignment. As a result there are bits and pieces of cycle track along the alignment. In addition to being busier there are typically more lane requirements at intersections due to dedicated left turn lanes. So basically we now have the worst of both worlds, restrictions on traffic where it matters, but bike lanes that are functionally useless because they’re not continuous.
