Woodward Avenue is already one lane in each direction with a center turning lane and curbside bike lanes. Unfortunately Barton and Woodward is a VERY busy intersection because almost all of the traffic going South on Woodward makes a left turn here to hook up to Barton and the RHVP. It has an advance green for this reason but it's still fairly hard for a pedestrian to cross, let alone a cyclist. Almost every time I cross at this intersection, I'm being aggressively pursued by motorists who didn't make it through the advance green.

Also disappointing is the fact that the bike lanes terminate at Melvin, a street which would look wonderful with curbside bike lanes and enlarged sidewalks and curbside trees. If Parkdale between Melvin and King Street were given the same treatment, it could eventually link up with the existing lanes on Lawrence Road to Gage Avenue.
