Spadina getting dedicated bus lane | CTV News Toronto at Noon for July 29, 2024

The TTC says a dedicated bus-only lane will be temporarily added to a stretch of Spadina Avenue next week in an effort to reduce travel times for commuters as streetcar services continues to be suspended along the busy downtown route.

Earlier this summer, the TTC began work to upgrade overhead wiring on the streetcar route, indicating that the work would continue through December. Buses are being used to supplement service and have been forced to run in mixed traffic.

It was previously reported that the change tripled travel times for commuters in the area, prompting a call for urgent action from Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik.

They won't lose revenue from parking. If anybody manages to get to Spadina by car they will still have to park somewhere, on one of the neighbouring lots and pay.

Regarding the Spadina, TTC creates a mess with this project and the City pays & loses revenue to mitigate the lack of planning. "Well done 👍"

Dedicated lane for bus will mean No lane for driving, already 1 lane is used for Parking 😂😂😂

You could thank former premier Bill Davis for our traffic chaos. Cancelling the Spadina Xpressway and the lack of other freeways that were shortened and not built.

Driver probably wouldn't have been injured if he didn't fight for his insured car. This is clear because he CONTINUED to fight for his insured car AFTER he was already 🔪

Another great way to create more gridlock. Good old women in politics back at it
