I was also wondering about that. If these are in fulfilment of the Centre Plan bicycle parking requirement, they might not meet the geometric standards (e.g. 90-cm spacing between each rack)

LOL I saw that...

@davidwtrueman.bsky.social passed along this message from staff: "[the project] has been delayed due to work on Lawrence Street. Due to a scheduling error, the contractor began work installing the temporary infrastructure [...] the temporary infrastructure has since been removed."

think of the 75,000 ambulances that use Allan Street every year

Me neither. I'm just sad.

Construction workers told me that the province intervened via the Department of Labour and had them remove the diverter. I haven't confirmed that info in any way however.

it worked in the case of Spring Garden Road, so...

My impression is that cycling Oak Street in the mornings is a pain due to cars shortcutting off Connaught and turning onto Oxford. Is that the case?

Yes, I am half expecting a social media backlash that will prompt our pandering mayor or premier to intervene to make sure Allan Street is as car-clogged as every other street.

With Chebucto and Quinpool both clogged with cars tonight, a steady stream of drivers are encountering the diverter for the first time.

new life for the curbs removed elsewhere because people kept driving up them 😭

I'm not sure but my assumption is that it is a year-round installation.
