Bikeway Mapping Data
Data used to map Toronto’s bikeways is now available on the City’s
Open Data website. This website gives members of the public free access to City of Toronto data for a range of uses, including for research and to develop new applications. The
Bikeway data is contained in the enhanced Toronto Centreline (TCL) shapefile and includes all existing bike lanes, signed routes, sharrows, off-road trails, as well as suggested routes and connections where bikeways have not yet been installed.
Nathan Philips Square re-vitalization
Improvements to Nathan Philips Square will include a bicycle station. The
Nathan Philips Square bike facility will make secure parking available to both City staff, and the general public working downtown.
Public consultations
As part of an ongoing process to implement the
Bikeway Network, residents of Toronto are invited to participate in
public consultation sessions. The purpose of these sessions is to gather feedback on individual cycling programming and infrastructure projects.
Shared Lane Pavement Markings
New shared lane pavement markings are being painted on downtown streets. These markings are called “sharrows” and are used to show the ideal cyclist position in the lane (away from the curb and parked cars), and to remind drivers to share the road.
Learn more about sharrows, including how they are different from bike lanes.
