A narrow, useless shoulder, on a street with curbs? What would be the point? Besides, bike lanes are familiar enough now for people to know what they are.

Yet, they all have that symbol. I don't see what the issue is? I will say though that a green paint treatment (at least at intersections) is also preferable.
Absolutely, positively not. Lanes should not be painted at all - it becomes a deathtrap in the wet.
Me neither.As a biker 8 months of the year, I can't say I've ever noticed that.

I guess you're not a fan of the solid green recently added to lanes on Wellesley; or is the thick rubber adhesive stuff different than paint?
Hopefully they are finished by May 11, as the current King closure is creating a traffic nightmare in PM rush with northbound gridlock on Parliament, and eastbound slowness on Queen from Parliament to River. It's currently quicker to walk from King/Parliament to Queen/River than to take a 504.They are making good progress but one of the guys told me that they do not expect King to be back to normal for 2+ weeks more as they want the concrete to cure fully and they still have to redo the sidewalks and repave the asphalt part of the road. Of course, though the tracks will be in place at King and down Sumach/Cherry the line is not opening until 2016 because the bottom half of the loop at the south end is not finished and will not be finished until after Pan-Am Games.

I know the plan is not to finish the loop until 2016 and then start service, but given how little of the loop requires track, it's a shame they don't put in some temporary track for removal during the games, and start short-turning 504s down there, given how many spend forever currently short-turning around Parliament/Dundas.
