Redesign of Gainsborough Road could see bike lane relocated
The location of a new bike lane in northwest London might be shifted from the road to the adjacent boulevard. On Monday, the Infrastructure and Corporate Services Committee (ICSC) was told by Councillor Corrine Rahman that the rehabilitation of Gainsborough Road near Hyde Park Road must consider all users in the fast-growing part of the city. 'We've got to balance the parking needs, the need for the road to be rehabilitated, and the need for it to be accessible to all users,' Rahman told the committee. Currently, the busy stretch of road would be reconstructed to include a single eastbound lane, a dedicated left turn lane at Hyde Park Road and new bike lanes on both sides of the road. Rahman pressed for public consultation about the final design. She suggested that consideration be given to shifting at least one of the bike lanes onto the boulevard— thereby separating riders from drivers and reducing the capacity constraints for vehicles on the roadway. 'My preference would be boulevard bike lanes,' Rahman told CTV News after the meeting. 'The reason for that is it's a safer option for folks that are looking to ride in this area.' City staff confirmed that bike lanes along that stretch of road were recently approved in the Mobility Master Plan. Relocating the bike lane onto the shoulder might have impacts on the project's budget and timeline. 'I do understand that it's not typically what we would do in a (road) rehabilitation like this because we'd need to move hydro poles and things like that,' Rahman said. 052625 - Render of Gainsborough An artist rendering of Gainsborough at Hyde Park Road.

'I do think that it's really important that when we're doing a redevelopment in an area that's growing as much as the northwest part of the city, we have to look at getting this right,' Rahman said. Council makes a final decision about Rahman's motion on June 3.
