Researchers studying a Toronto pilot project found that installing a bike lane and removing 136 on-street parking spaces improved the business environment for establishments along the corridor. The number of visitors spending more than $100 per month at corridor businesses increased from 44% pre-construction to 53% post-construction, and frequency of visits to businesses on the corridor by individuals increased by 3 days per month. These and other findings led the authors to conclude that there was increased economic activity following the installation of the bike lane.
