Bicycle Lanes
On May 25, 2009, Toronto City Council voted 28–16 to remove the reversible centre commuter traffic lane and improve the streetscape by widening sidewalks, planting trees, installing heritage plaques, and implementing bicycle lanes.
In 2011, however, a new council voted to remove the bicycle lanes and reinstate the original configuration, instead opting for an expanded bicycle route along the parallel Sherbourne Street.
On November 17, 2012, following removal of the bicycle lanes, the reversible centre lane reopened.
