Montreal's summer plans: An extra 327 km of bike paths, pedestrian lanes
Montreal Gazette
Montreal will add 327 kilometres of bicycle paths and pedestrian lanes, while some thoroughfares will be closed to motorized traffic this summer. It is part of an effort to open up the city — and its businesses — to residents in the wake of months of COVID-19 lockdown.

It is actually quite pathetic... For longer distance commuters like me what will be really nice is if the bike lanes actually allow cyclists to get from the inner suburbs (Scarborough, Etobicoke, North York) to the downtown core and back with the added safety provided by bike lanes. These Active TO bike lanes are not even connected to each other. Having bike lanes along Bloor Danforth and along Yonge from Queens Quay to Finch would be a freaking start. Another along Birchmount or Midland for that connects Scarborough / Markham would be a very nice addition.

Fully agree, the Bloor extensions should be prioritized, extended and fast tracked. It's already designed.to Runnymede

Pretty much same approach as Montreal and how they will be adding 300 km + of bike lanes and pedestrian streets in the next 4-8 weeks. Many will be temporary while some will be permanent additions (such as the major east west / north south "bike highways" or REVs). Most are just reconfigs of existing autocentric streets and really don't require all this elaborate drama that we see here in TO.

And as expected...
Stephen Holyday is against anything that supports cyclists or pedestrians.
