Option A includes buffered bike lanes and potential bollards in both directions with no on-street parking (similar to Richmond St-Adelaide St design); Option B retains on-street parking with conventional bicycle lanes (similar to Harbord St design); Option C retains on-street parking but puts a buffer in the door zones; Option D uses on-street parking to separate one side of the street (similar to new Hoskin Ave design)
