The City noted that Dufferin Street is being prioritized due to its "high ridership, long travel times and important role connecting Line 2 Bloor-Danforth (at Dufferin Station), the 512 St. Clair Streetcar (at Dufferin Street) and the future Line 5 Eglinton (at Fairbank Station)."
The dedicated bus lanes are being considered in the northbound and southbound curb lanes using new signage, red paint and pavement markings.
"Losing curbside parking means families will need to secure street parking permits — if they can even find spots nearby.
"Drivers will lose access to the curb lanes — even during rush hour — choking Dufferin's already heavy traffic even further.
With dedicated bus lanes, drivers would lose access to curb lanes at all times, which will increase rush hour congestion for drivers on an already busy major street."
