Toronto city staff propose bike lanes on Parkside Drive after history of crashes | CBC News
Briefly

Faraz Gholizadeh emphasized the longstanding need for change, stating, 'We want to feel safe walking on our own street. We want to feel safe when our kids are walking beside us, and the street, as it's been designed, is not safe for pedestrians, not safe for cyclists, not safe for motorists.' This reflects community frustration regarding safety.
The proposal aims to create a 3.8-kilometre, two-way cycle track on Parkside Drive, aiming to enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists in response to a history of crashes.
Local residents express urgent demands for improved street safety. They feel their concerns about persistent dangerous driving and accidents on Parkside Drive are consistently ignored by city officials.
City staff predict the proposed changes will marginally increase travel times, estimating an additional wait of one to three minutes during peak hours, particularly affecting morning southbound traffic.
