We'll be back at it again in Jan. as MTO promises us a design more exciting than all of Tiger's alleged showing up on his doorstep together. A design that will meet our needs, making it safe and comfortable for vulnerable road users on Fairview at the QEW.MTO is on the cusp of giving us bike lanes and even chartreuse coloured bike lanes on Fairview at the QEW. However, they are hedging their bets on a sharp right turn lane that forces motorists to slow down on Fairview Street before entering a new on ramp to the QEW Niagara.
The sharp right turn works. Since is was installed on the opposite side of Fairview, there have been no deaths or serious injuries in an eleven year span. Contrast this with 2 deaths & 1 serious injury in 3 years under the old MTO standard.
