Topic: New Bike Lane on Hilliard Street
Well I hope I didn't jinx it, but I see there was a minor fender bender there just after supper time tonight. A car appeared to go straight through the now left turn only lane dedicated to union Street and it side swiped a car that was going straight onto St. Patrick Street from the straight lane that use to be for Water Street. Also I noticed in the morning the line waiting to go through the lights onto St. Patrick Street moves slower due to people thinking the're in the lane that was normally dedicated for St. Patrick, only to find out that it is now for a left turn onto Union Street...thus slows down the people coming from the off ramp to the uptown area, slowing down the Harbour bridge traffic even more. One last thing have you seen the transport trucks trying to turn onto Hilliard from Chesley Drive, takes them a couple of minutes so they dont hit the markers `meant for the bike lane. I still think it was a stupid idea to put a bike lane there..............just sayin!
