Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik says a 'fixed link' to Toronto Island for pedestrians and cyclists must be studied thoughtfully. City council asked staff to prepare a report on the bridge and it's expected back in early 2025.
Toronto city council will be asked this month to create a dedicated bus lane on a section of Spadina Avenue to reduce travel times for TTC buses that have temporarily replaced the 510 streetcar.Posted: Jul 11, 2024 10:37 PM EDT | Last Updated: 12 minutes agoToronto councillors will vote whether or not to create designated bus lanes on the southern part of Spadina Avenue later this month.
Two southbound lanes for general traffic would remain on Spadina Avenue between Richmond Street W. and Lake Shore Boulevard W. Coun. Ausma Malik, who represents Ward 10, Spadina-Fort York, says: 'Seeing bus after bus backed up on Spadina in peak hours and traffic at a standstill is not acceptable.' Last month, the TTC temporarily suspended streetcar service on Spadina Avenue to allow the TTC to complete track repairs and work on the "modernization" of overhead power lines. Replacement buses, which were put in place on June 23, have contributed to congestion in the area.TTC spokesperson Stuart Green says the switch to replacement buses has had a huge impact on transit schedules. Travel times for the Spadina route have tripled since the switch began.
