Will this help for more service?

Bike commuting can be used for long trips though there may be a limit where you'd rather take public transit and have some downtime. I think 20km might be a reasonable limit for me. It's really nice the scalability of bike lanes and the ability to go past traffic. Biking also allows you to mix...

Some DoNotEnter and NoVehiclesAccess signs on Kitcheners downtown cycling grid.

Some other quotes about it being conditional zoning.

The 4 units per floor is a nice limitation that incentivizes bigger units. Door performance (fire) codes currently only require 20 mins for units while 60 mins for the front door of a house. It could mean an extra room or 100 sqft per floor. They estimate the impact is 7% on profitability...

On the consultations page there's a Draft from June 2024 for 'proposed new avenues'. https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/planning-studies-initiatives/housing-action-plan-avenues-mixed-use-area-study/
