Hey Jason, I know you cover a lot of Northwest London, Ontario… but could you cover more of the downtown and east end? People live all around the city and the Wavell Street protection is great… as much as drivers REALLY, really don’t seem to like it.
And it’s not perfect but it’s definitely going in the right direction compared to what it was before.
But because there are so many vocal drivers complaining about “how narrow the roadway is now” and “I can’t even turn because I don’t know the dimensions of the deadly vehicle that I’m driving”… I think it’s important for you to cover why more streets in London need to resemble Wavell in the future.

It's a pretty good starting point and does remain with some snowfall. Parts of the 101 highway in San Diego County look like this
I saw one guy on a bike in a week. These are not worth it. They should have just exrended the sidewalks and leave bikes off the road
that looks bad tho. it‘s better than paint but it‘s not fully protected and the seperation that is in place is little more than paperthin, plus it‘s ugly. an example of genuienly good car and cycling infrastructure would be raising the cycling path with a curb and seperating it from the car lanes with a row of small shrubs. i don‘t understand why they draw a line with paint on the street and put up some poles and call it amazing, it‘s not and it takes one guy with a car and ego big enough to smash through that. things getting better doesn‘t equal things being good.
these lanes would be better if they cleaned them its mainly gravel and garbage i live in this area and the bike lanes are really dicey at best lol
You sir are reaping tax payer rewards. These lanes are a stupid misuse of taxpayer money. Ever heard of sidewalks? Despite that; you should be paying a fee to a.) BE LICENSED. b.) Use these lanes that impinge upon motorways. Also? You suck. None of you cyclists obey road rules. I am from London. Call us fake? F-YOU. Here's a thought. Use the 30+ kms of trails that are paved that go across all of London. DICK.
Its a headache, makes the roads cramped
This is the worst infrastructure.
If you call this fully protected,i can tell the situation in fake London is baaaad
Why don't change the sidewalks to bicycle lands if no one is walking anymore in US and Canada? 😂
The recent videos about Japan illustrate that this type of infrastructure is really just for cars. Segregation is necessary on higher speed roads but this is kind of a backwards fix for not having streets inside of mixed use neighborhoods. It's safer to integrate cars, cyclists, and pedestrians; people coexisting and moving at nearly the same speed.
Better, but still ways to go
Not just bikes is a cuck IMO
As a Dutchmen i will say:its a good start!Bot not to the standard in the Netherlands.
Protected bike lanes as cheap as possible, but it’s not fully protected. That’s North America for ya. On the bright side, there’s always room for improvement.
This infrastructure will be at risk of removal by the proposed provincial bill 212
That’s not fully protected.
Looks good, but it cannot be called fully protected
Jason roasted Fake London so much that they had to do it.
How is that fully protected?
“Fake London”?! 😂😂 too funny!
Oh wow thats bad why is it connected to the big cars it should at least not be on the same level!
north instead of east? do you mean west?
Watching US videos about infrastructure that isn't specifically and exclusively for cars feels like getting a picture that is just crayon scribbles from a 3-year-old. Like: Good job, buddy, I'm really glad you got there – but it won't be hanging in the Louvre, just the fridge…
Fully protected? Ahh yes the great wall of white paint, even the Mongols couldn't cross it.
Just for Doug Ford to come and rip it all out
Well, as a Dutchman myself, this is how it started in the Netherlands in the ‘60’s. But it will approve, and it will change.
I hope good ol Dougie don't rip this one out
It's getting better 🙂 slowly. But I've definitely seen the improvement over the past 5 years or so
Why you have to call it fake. It’s a real city with great bike parhs
By dutch standards this is absolutely shit but the intersection is pretty solid.
I think you were going west and turned north
