Attitude? What attitude? Can you see through solid vehicles? It's a good honest rendition of an actual event. On a straight stretch of roadway and with no indication of otherwise, most probably will assume that the through lane would be straight rather than morph into a strip of on street parking directly in front of you. But that's an aside with the point being that this is exactly what the province will be looking for in their streets review. I don't think it could be successfully argued that the now single through lane would be as efficient as having two through lanes which could be accomplished by removing the bike lane. Also, it strikes me that a little creative thinking might have pushed the pedestrian traffic into Victoria Park along this congested area and put the bike lane where the sidewalk is thus retaining or gaining a lane of auto traffic. Once you get south of South St. congestion is much less of an issue and an on street bike lane is fine.
