The new connection would have linked the existing westbound cycle track on Carling near Saigon Court to this new protected intersection, which would have created a connection to the cycle tracks on Churchill Ave North. This would have also provided the benefit of removing the bus bay in the area. OC Transpo likes to remove the bays because buses are slowed down when they have to merge back into traffic.

One of the new sections would have added even more cycle tracks on Carling Ave eastbound, all the way to the project limits. As the City is going to be digging up the road anyway, the cost would have been reduced, but again the City decided to cut the cycle track short. This means an increased cost for a future cycle track and destroying recently completed work. And before anyone at the City mentions there is no space for cycle tracks… there is space that can be taken from the large median.
