Ferguson is a totally useless cycling route. I should know, because I live a block away from it and I am forced to use part of it every day because of the pointless one-way design of Mary.

Let me enumerate the reasons: 1. Stop signs, all-way stops, or traffic lights at every intersection from Charlton to Simcoe. Cyclists have to stop at every street 2. No protected crossing at Main. Not even a real curb cut on the north side. 3. No protected crossing at Hunter. 4. Tall, steep bridge with poor visibility over CN tracks 5. Sidewalk (not multiuse path) under CP tracks with poor visibility on either end 6. General lack of businesses or other important destinations along most of its course.

Cyclists overwhelmingly use Walnut and Mary over Ferguson.
