Ding ding: Bike lanes coming to Dundurn Street North

The city will install bicycle lanes on Dundurn Street North this fall.

Ward 1 councillor and cycling advocate Brian McHattie said Thursday the new lanes, between York Boulevard and King Street West, will not require the removal of street parking because there is none there now.

Installation of bike lanes on Dundurn South between Main Street West and Aberdeen Avenue as recommended by the city’s master cycling plan, caused an outcry among merchants on the street two years ago as parking spaces were lost.

McHattie, who made the announcement in Gore Park early Thursday as the city celebrated Bike to Work Day in honour of International Car Free day, said the city hopes to have the bike lanes installed by the end of autumn.

He said later the Dundurn North stretch will be “a little bit different” because there is no parking allowed on the street between King and York now, so there is no parking to lose.

Nevertheless, McHattie said, he will be presenting the idea at the Strathcona Community Council annual general meeting Sept. 27.

He will also be speaking directly with Our Lady of Mercy Lithuanian Church at Lamoureaux Street, whose members park on Dundurn during services.

The new lanes on Dundurn North connect to the new CP rail trail via Glenside Avenue, link to the existing Chedoke rail trail up the escarpment and provide access to the downtown via Herkimer Street, Charlton Avenue and Jackson Street.

The plan also says the bike lanes will connect to the McMaster Innovation Park on Longwood Road via the extension of Frid Street at the west end of Charlton Avenue and link to the waterfront over King Street and Longwood Road.
