Cool...

So this is what separated bike lanes look like.

Or....will look like.  This is actually a prepped section of Sherbourne St. in Toronto before the barriers go in.

Here the barriers have already been installed.  Going to go live in December.

Much safer than having cars darting into the bike lanes, or more likely, parking in them.

Some sections are actually raised pavement with real curbs.

Even safer.

Unless you are standing out in the street taking pictures.

'cause this section of the road is live; both cars are bikes are using the completed sections.

The only downside, besides the occasional splayed pedestrian, is that there is no street parking anywhere.

Fine with me, but not sure how the local Timmy's customers will like it.

However, knowing drivers in Toronto, and FedEx drivers in particular, I doubt a little curb will stop them from, well, stopping.

So to paraphrase Bette Davis,  "Fasten your seat belts, it going to be a bumpy ride...."
