The City of Toronto says starting this week, College Street will be reduced to two lanes — one lane for each direction — as crews begin work to install elevated bike lanes.

Officials said the work begins the week of March 6 and will affect College Street between Manning Avenue and Bay Street.

The city’s plan is to upgrade the exiting bike lanes to separated cycle tracks.

“The upcoming work will include the installation of elevated cycle tracks from Manning Avenue to Spadina Avenue, and at grade from Spadina Avenue to Bay Street,” the city said.

Crews will be working between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Monday to Friday, with work after-hours and on weekends as required, the city said.
