On Upper Wellington, past the Linc, over the hill, there are bike lanes in both directions leading up to Rymal Road. On the other side of the Lic Upper Wellington becomes a two lane arterial road. There is a long stretch between the Linc and the new bike lanes that have no paved shoulder, just gravel and filled in pot-holes. I call it the bike lanes to nowhere. When will the rest of Upper Wellington have bike lanes installed, and will they go all the way down the Access too? Also, who will pay to plow the snow off of curbside bike lanes in the middle of winter? The city used to remove snow and dump it at a secret location, last winter snow was stockpiled at intersections and the sides of streets, with usuallt only one lane for residents traffic to get out of their driveways, after the windage was filled with ploughed snow. Had to dig myself out numerous times. How many people will use bike lanes in the winter? Only the most die-hard fan, about .0001 percent of the population. Meanwhile, Stomechurch hyas bike lanes on both sides running right across the mountain, from Stoney Creek to ancaster. I do see people using this bike lane, lots of electric scooters too.
