Left turns are an issue. The matter is about aliment. If the bike path is on the outside of the turn at queen cars and trucks have to pass through the path to their left turn lanes - not a safe solution given the volume of traffic. If they are on the inside you still have cars passing through the bike path to turn from york westbound to york eastbound, there is no means of protecting cyclists through the intersection if a car cuts a tighter turn and there would have to be a refuge for cyclists after completing the turn before proceeding westbound. This delay required would drastically reduce level of service.

As proposed, York using the Queen intersection to facilitate a transition to the south side is not a reasonable solution. There are considerable safety, navigation and access deficiencies that an alternate route using Hess and Napier could overcome.
