They ARE putting the bike lanes down Sydney and Charlotte. A block apart. Total waste of money. 25 residential parking spaces eliminated--- that's great for the Farmer's Market and for renters. I wouldn't care about the parking loss if there was a net benefit. But there isn't one. It's just hundreds of thousands of dollars transforming into bollards and paint.
For the record, I don't have an issue with Charlotte (and presumably Sydney) turning into one way streets their whole lengths. But that of course is not enough of a traffic calming measure to satisfy the ~30 armchair cyclists who spend more time demanding infrastructure than they do biking.
I'm also not 100% sure how you're supposed to access Ross/the end of Germain/Harding/Pagan from Lower Cove Loop... go up Sydney, left on St James, down Charlotte, then onto Ross? It's excessive. Unless I misread and Charlotte will stay two-way south of Queen Sq S.... but that would only be half a block turned one-way.
