Is this really an All Ages Abilities Bicycle Network? Transportation Assoc. of Canada (TAC) Bike Lane Widths: 1.5m (MINIMUM) - 2.75m (recommended)

“I regularly almost get killed almost on a daily basis as cycling is my main way of getting around the city.” (Mayor Lisa Helps)

There are many variables which dictate bicycle lanes wider than the minimums.

NACTO Guidelines

"The desirable bike lane width adjacent to a guardrail or other physical barrier is 2 feet wider than otherwise in order to provide a minimum shy distance from the barrier."

"Bike lanes should be made wider than minimum widths wherever possible to provide space for bicyclists to ride side-by-side and in comfort."

"Where bicyclist volumes are high or where bicyclist speed differentials are significant, the desired bicycle travel area width is 7 feet."

"Buffers should be at least 2 feet wide because it is impractical to mark a zone narrower than that."

"In areas with high bicyclist volumes or uphill sections, the desired width should be 7 feet to allow for bicyclists passing each other."

"Three feet is the desired width for a parking buffer to allow for passenger loading and to prevent door collisions."

"When using a pavement marking buffer, desired parking lane and buffer combined width is 11 feet to discourage motor vehicle encroachment into the cycle zone."

"Cycle track width should be larger in locations where the gutter seam extends more than 12 inches from the curb."

"Desirable one-way raised cycle track travel surface width is 6.5 feet to allow side-by-side riding or passing."

"The desirable two-way cycle track width is 12 feet."
