City of Toronto workers will begin installing two much-debated bike lanes on Jarvis St. this Friday.
The northbound and southbound lanes – approved by city council last year – will run from Queen St. E. to Charles St. and will shrink Jarvis from five lanes to four.
The work will continue until late July and involve partial road closures and lane reductions.
Here is a summary of the planned work:
Friday, July 16
Remove pay-and-display parking machines and install no-stopping regulations on the roadway.
Remove centre reversible lane
Saturday, July 17 or Sunday, July 18 (weather permitting)
Install temporary pavement markings to indicate the closure of the centre lane. This work will take place during the evening.

Saturday, July 24 and/or Sunday, July 25 (weather permitting)
Rolling closures of parts of Jarvis to install new bike lane markings and remove existing markings.
