Perhaps. Now that I think about, I only know of their existence because I saw them on the stairs descending into the subway stations in Moscow and thought: "hey, what a neat idea!"

It looks like the new traffic and maybe the bike lights are being commissioned at Church and The Esplanade today.
They are working on some road repairs in and beyond the bike lane which @DSCToronto mentioned a few weeks ago!
I’m not sure I understand this ramp on a one way street outside the Novotel entrance. Maybe just to slow everyone down and to be careful. Except of course for the bikes gong eastbound. You really have to pay attention to the 3/4 ramp, oncoming bikes, people and cars leaving the Novotel.

Isn't it just an accessible loading area? They have those at various points on Bloor, etc., in addition to the ones for TTC stops.

I guess but the oneway street is the wrong way for typical passenger side unloading.
It seems easier to use the car exit area to the dedicated bus parking zone on the north side of the street. Just not as pretty looking at the front door.
No safe way I guess.
They installed two concave mirrors for the underground parking entrance/exit. Very nice!

I wish they would remove the Road Closed signs. It is NOT closed, it has become on-way going west.

There is, it’s just not… good. It doesn’t have the painted bike symbols or the signs indicating that it’s a bike lane, so some people might consider it just a shoulder, though the city has installed bike route wayfinding signage along it.

Of course @DSCToronto beat me to it.
He cheats though; he doesn't read the report first! LOL
Additional info:
Of note, for @TwinHuey; the Kingston Road chance is in here, but also, it comes with a new ban on right-on-reds across much of this section of Kingston Rd.

True, there is no officially designated or signed bikeway, but there is a painted line with a very side space between that and the curb that is used as if it were a bike lane.
It should be officially designated as such and should also receive physical separation as there is ample room to do so.

Given Monday's approval of Bill 60 which bans the conversion of traffic lanes to bike lanes or "any other prescribed purpose", my latest blog post looks at the impact of that legislation on Toronto's bike plans, as well as a bunch of projects headed to next Thursday's IEC meeting which were already mentioned here. If there are any projects I'm missing, by all means call them out.

I read your piece............excellent work as always. A couple of minor notes though.
1) Gerrard work (Sherbourne to Parliament) is tendered, not sure about points east, but still shows in the City work program.
2) Yonge - College to Gerrard also involves removing the median, whether you prioritize the sidewalks or cycle tracks in that block is a potential question, but some space exists that is compliant w/the bill.
3) Downtown Yonge is very far into the future now, regrettably, but when it comes up, I don't think it will be that big an issue, the province will have to approve it, but the business community including the very well connected folks at CF are in favour.
4) Danforth eaat of VP is indefinitely deferred.
5) VP from Dawes to Denton does not involve lane removals, Denton to Danforth does. But there may be an out there, some modelling suggests traffic could flow better here under a re-arrangement of capacity, including turn lanes.
6) Not sure on North York - Yonge
7) Two projects on your list the City would consider asking the province to advance, if the province ever got around to publishing the criteria for approval.
8) Dupont is definitely deferred.
9) St. Clair may be achievable w/o lane reductions.....maybe..... but it would only be a painted bike lane if you do that (1.5M per direction) (There's a centre turning lane that can be removed) Some parking would also have to go.
