The City of Toronto is proposing a new bikeway that will connect Queen Street West to Queens Quay West. This new cycling route will run along Portland Street – across the Puente De Luz pedestrian/cycling bridge – and down Dan Leckie Way. This project is part of the Council-approved Cycling Network Plan for 2024 and will provide a safe cycling route connecting our City’s waterfront with the bustling and rapidly growing fashion district. It will also provide traffic calming measures and reduce neighbourhood traffic infiltration.
Project Goals:
The project area extends along Portland Street from Queen Street to Front Street, across the Puente de Luz Bridge, and along Dan Leckie Way from Queens Wharf Road to the Martin Goodman Trail.

In this section the City is proposing:
There are two options under consideration for the bikeway from Fort York Boulevard to Lake Shore Boulevard:
Option 1 – share existing multi-use path
Option 2 – continue on-street (Dan Leckie Way)
