'Neck-Downs' on Pape at Riverdale Ave.
Paul Young of South Riverdale Community Health Centre, Ward 30 Councillor Fletcher, in conjunction with local residents and parents of children at nearby schools, got a 'neck-down' installed on Pape in the south-bound curb lane leading down to the turn onto Riverdale Ave., west-bound. It is hoped the measure will slow car traffic around this corner.
A couple of years ago through a similar exercise, residents got the south west corner sidewalk widened also; and now that place has trees, and only one traffic lane southbound on Pape south of Riverdale Ave., slows traffic there also.
The intersection was a hazard for pedestrians (and cyclists) - most of whom are students attending one or the other of the two nearby schools: Pape Avenue Junior Public School (just to the south) and the East Alternative School of Toronto (just east on Riverdale at Kiswick).

Dundas / River: East/West Connections Broken
At Dundas and River, existing infrastructure encourages Westbound cyclists to take River Street Bike lanes North or South (depending on your destination). North to Gerrard to get to the Young/Bloor area; or South to Shuter Street and into the Downtown core.
Eastbound on Dundas, the left turn lane (South onto River St.) needs a Bike Box.

Cherry Street: Lake Shore Blvd. Intersection is Unsafe
The Lower West Don Redevelopment plans to create a tunnel under the Rail lands just North of here - to connect the new neighbourhood to the Port Lands. Right now, Cherry Street across Lake Shore Blvd. is hell on two wells.

Dundas St: Cars Parked in the Bike Lanes
The rail track underpass over to Broadview Ave. - the school at Boulton and generally along here - lots of stopped and parked vehicles using the Bike Lane as parking spots.
Good reason for Separated Bicycle Lanes on Dundas?

Dundas St: Cars, Trucks Parked in the Bike Lane
Lots of construction along here right now - but also lots of stopping and parking in the Westerly Bike Lanes for deliveries and visiting to the Artists Spaces on the south side of Dundas - stopping and parking on the North side too.

Carlaw / Lower Don Rec. Trail
Railway Tracks across the Lower Don Rec. Trail are dangerous.
Paul says he fell there this week (and has the big bruise on his hip and a raspberry on his elbow to prove it :) --- a year ago his young daughter fell at the same spot.
Is this rail line even in use? Can we remove these tracks?

Path from Outer Harbour Marina road to Tommy Thompson Park

The dirt path is rough and most parts are overgrown with weeds.If it could be either paved or upgraded to granular surfacing, it would provide a scenic shortcut for park users who approach from the west via Unwin Ave. (Michael Black, Ward 22)

Path to lighthouse in Tommy Thompson Park
Last Updated by Michael on Sep 26
The path is studded with sharp rocks and bricks, presumably to prevent cyclists from speeding down it. But the remedy is worse than the sickness: cyclists with expensive rims and road tires risk damaging their machines. Also, those using wheelchairs and mobility devices are prevented from accessing the viewing area at the top, near the lighthouse. As a solution, the path should be paved and made wide enough so that conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians are minimized. "Ride slowly" signs should eliminate most incidences of speeding.(Michael Black, Ward 22)

Bike Sharrows / Pedestrian ways in Price Choppers Parking Lot
Last Updated by Michael Holloway on Jun 26
The car-only design of the parking lot needs to incorporate the Bike Lane meme. As it is, it discourages local residents from using their bicycles to do their shopping. Bicycle Lock-ups are of bad design, ugly, old, and too few. I counted 5 lock-up spots on Price Choppers property. The City has 10 spots on the walkway connecting the Lower Don Trail to the Parking Lot walkway (the only safe way in for pedestrians).

Bicycle Lock-ups are of bad design, ugly, old, and too few. I counted 20 lockups for bikes divided between the North and South entrances.

Ward 32: Dixon Ave Contra-Flow enables routes East - to Martin Goodman Trail

Greg Burrell of Ward32Spokes wrote in this route - it hinges on the Dixon Ave Contra-Flow Bike Lane off the end of the Dundas Bike Lanes.
"..This features a series of contraflows but it's possible to do it without affecting parking, which we think is key to community support. The same route (more or less) is in the city's 2001 bike plan."

Carlaw not consistent
Last Updated by dr on Jul 3
Carlaw north of Riverdale acts is the south-bound equivalent to the northbound bike lane on Logan. However, when it hits Riverdale it becomes a wide, unpleasant street that gets even worse after Gerrard. This creates a big gap in the Ward 30 cycle network. It needs a bike lane at least to Gerrard and maybe to Dundas, and then a signed route over to the Logan lane (2-way south of Gerrard).

Right of way
Last Updated by Dan on Jul 4
Motorists turning right onto Lakeshore are often looking to their left (east) as they turn and are completely unaware of cyclists approaching from the West on the lower don recreation trail and fail to yield. Some also stop over the trail while waiting to turn. The trail should be better marked over intersections with clear signs for motorists to not only be aware but to yield.

Multi-use paths through Withrow Park
Last Updated by Vivien on Nov 6
I see people cycling the wrong way southbound on Logan or northbound on Carlaw. Or cycling on the sidewalks running north-south along Withrow Park. We have an east-west multi-use path through the park. Suggestion: Create north-south multi-use paths on both sides of the park. And another east-west multi-use path at the south end.
Complete list to the date of this post (2013/11/23)
