One way streets increase capacity AND allow room for a bike lane. And you only need one bike lane! Also there are fewer chances for left turn accidents.

Pretty well any city worth living in has a grid of one way streets because its the next logical step to becoming a large city. And a step that our provincial way of thinking has largely ignored (along with getting rid of street cars which most cities did in the 50s and 60s)

Originally posted by Stilez Not such a bad idea considering they want to avoid bikes from zig zagging through stopped traffic, and since bikes don't have the quick acceleration like cars to 'get ahead' of them, I think it'll prevent cyclists from getting hit when attempting to cross or turn. Leave the cars for the suburbs, srsly. Both Jay & digi are from north of Steeles. make sense?

if bicyclists cant negotiate a downtown left turn then they shouldnt be riding their bike downtown.

I say the same thing about drivers who cant drive their cars properly.

Have to agree with Jay on this one. This city needs a better subway system to get people out of cars.

University is such a god awful street to bike on. A lane - partitioned or not - would be excellent.

I can't believe how much is given to such a small minority, at most downtown travels by bike are 1% of total travels... like wtf!?
