Cycling Lanes on Lees Avenue (Lees Avenue Bridge to Chestnut Street)

The City is undertaking the resurfacing of a segment of Lees Avenue from west of the Lees Avenue Bridge at the O-Train Line to Chestnut Street. The resurfacing project provides the opportunity for the City to build separated cycling lanes on the north side of the roadway and make improvements to the existing cycling lanes on the south side of the roadway. The project will allow for greater mobility in the neighbourhood to Lees Avenue transit, including the Lees Avenue LRT station. The project will include:

• Widening of existing east bound cycling lanes to two meters
• A new two-meter westbound cycling lane installed from Chestnut Avenue to the west side of the Lees Avenue Bridge
• The ultimate plan for the cycling lanes will include pinned curbs, flex posts, traffic signage and pavement markings

The ultimate plan will see the removal of approximately 28 parking spots along Lees Avenue.
