Traveling down University Avenue either walking, cycling, or driving, it's some of the best infrastructure planning I have seen in the city by far. The addition of the protected bike corridor, the curbs, signage and bus loading platforms all working together.

It would be so counter intuitive for the city to be forced to rip these out.

University Avenue has actually become pleasant to travel along. As a driver I see no negative difference. The avenue still has parking and has two full lanes with dedicated left and right turn lanes, which have become safer and easier to navigate. Additionally there are now dedicated and clearly marked loading and unloading areas.

Rolling the Avenue back would not make travel by car any easier or efficient. The third lane on Universal Avenue like most of the second lanes on Toronto streets are always filled with parked cars or delivery trucks loading and unloading.

The Province should instead be using its energy to get the LRT projects finally open and a clear data should be on the table.

  • Finch west LRT
  • Eglinton Crosstown LRT
  • Scarborough Subway Extension
