In that case you (and I) need to vote in the Mayoral by-election!!

Saunders seems to be the most anti-bikes (by far!) - at least of the candidates who appear viable. Yet another reason not to elect a (failed) police chief as our Mayor!!

Look closer at what cycling infrastructure was added...

Does anyone know what the hell happened to the bike lanes on Morningside between Steeles and Passmore? I remember biking on them last summer but today they were just... gone, the grass was in it's place I belive.

Bike lanes or multi-use path?
Just for clarity here.
Psst, take pics! Streetview is not up to date!
The City's project page indicates the ultimate build-out should feature an MUP on the east side:
Steeles Avenue Widening & Morningside Avenue Extension
The City is continuing to advance the design of new and enhanced transportation infrastructure along the boundary of the City of Toronto and York Region to address existing transportation and safety deficiencies and to support the economic growth of the area. The primary focus areas are: Steeles...

Not Paths, They were bike lanes that looked something like this. I believe they were painted green as well but I could be mistaken about this detail. I will go again tomorrow as I live not too far and take pictures to show.

The fact that an engineer signed off on this is sheer negligence. Or the scandal is that any design manual allows for such a monstrosity.

Ok, after looking online I found this. It is likely I did not see the lane because It was dark and I was on the west side of the road. I will still go tomorrow to confirm but sorry for inconveniences.

They could do better, but I don't see an obvious way of making that bit of roadway safe for cyclists: zoom out a bit and look at traffic flows. Curb lanes would be crossing large amounts of highway interchange traffic making sharp turns. Segregated lanes in the median for the intersection does look like the best option BUT you've still got to get cyclists into the median and out of it again.
Google Maps
Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

The entire interchange needs to be reconsidered.

The problem is thinking you should ever put bike lanes on a 10 lane high speed arterial. Worst case there should be a multi-use path. And realistically bikes should be given another route to use that is lower speed/lower traffic. That left turn and the bike boxes are going to get people killed. The road would be safer without them.They could do better, but I don't see an obvious way of making that bit of roadway safe for cyclists: zoom out a bit and look at traffic flows.

The anti-cyclists are hoping that tactics like delay following more delays, that people will just forget about it and it will not be done.

So, @H4F33Z doesn't have the full story on this one.
I wouldn't worry too much about driver complaints here......
There are other problems on Eglinton..........they will be addressed...........
