Cyclists and pedestrians in Toronto are loving a newly rebuilt intersection that reopened this past weekend ahead of schedule.
The intersection closed to traffic on Aug. 19. It was initially planned to remain closed for one full week and reopen on Aug. 26.Bloor/St George is open ahead of schedule, so I swung by to see how it’s going. My heart is full. What an accomplishment byThe transformed intersection is part of the City's work to reconstruct Bloor Street West between Avenue Road and Spadina Avenue to make several improvements to enhance accessibility and safety for all road users.
Despite only opening up a few days ago, one tractor-trailer has already been filmed driving over the new concrete curbs at the intersection.However, many people were quick to point out that the new curbs only enhance safety for cyclists and drivers, who are forced to slow down their speed when turning.
That's literally why they are designed the way they are. It stops smaller vehicles from driving over but larger trucks have a wide turning radius and they can, with caution, drive over it to make their turn.Until the end of September, temporary short-term vehicle and bike lane closures will be ongoing on Bloor Street between Spadina Avenue and Avenue Road to complete restoration, plantings, traffic signal activation, and temporary signal removal.
