Annette Street Bike Lanes (Runnymede Road to Jane Street)
In June 2008, City Council approved bike lanes for the section of Annette Street between Runnymede Road and Dundas Street West. The section between Runnymede and Jane Street was further reviewed at public meeting held by Councillor Bill Saundercook on September 15, 2008. The meeting included a presentation by staff on alternatives for providing bike facilities west of Runnymede Road to Jane Street.

Comments received from the public were reviewed by staff and presented to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee (PWIC) on Friday, October 10. The staff report submitted to the PWIC recommended "Option 1", which is extending the bike lane along Annette between Runnymede and Jane. The report also contained a summary of the feedback received through public consultation.
