I noticed yesterday that the city installed "Single File" bicycle/motorist signs on Cannon, East of Sherman. I'm hoping to see some sharrows and a proper cycle track exit, at least as far as the Pan-Am stadium.

I was told in my last post about this that there is plans for bike lanes along Cannon, as far East as Kenilworth but we all know how long those plans can take until implementation. I fear that the momentum will die off post-Pan-Am.

There really should be a continuous route across the lower city from the East to the West. The cycle track on Cannon definitely closed the gap by a lot, but where I live at Woodward and Melvin, I have to do a lot of road switching and riding in mixed traffic to get to the cycle track. I usually take Brittania which ends at Ottawa, then switched to moderate mixed traffic on Cannon, the rest of the way to the cycle track. Would be nice if there was a more continuous, protected route though. Bike lanes on Melvin Avenue to hook up with the existing ones on Woodward would be a great step towards this, since it would also provide a seamless link to the Waterfront Trail.
