Background
In 2001, Toronto City Council adopted the Toronto Bike Plan. This Plan calls for the creation of a comprehensive Bikeway Network throughout the city, and includes the introduction of bike lanes on Lawrence Avenue E from Yonge Street to Bayview Avenue. In 2008, Transportation Services staff initiated a road design with bike lanes which was presented to the area residents in a public meeting held at Blythwood Jr. Public School in June 2008. Based on the public response, and subsequent consultation with Councillor Jenkins, local ratepayers and cyclists, Transportation Services staff have prepared two design options. These options address maximizing traffic flow and maximizing parking supply.
