A section of separated (not protected) cycling lanes on University (Erb to Westmount) will begin construction this month:
"Construction is scheduled to start on June 18, 2018 and be substantially complete by October 31, 2018. A full road closure of University Avenue between Erb Street and Keats Way will be implemented during construction of the new road pavement structure to facilitate the construction of this project. The planned detour route will include Erb Street east of University Avenue and Westmount Road south of University Avenue. Surface asphalt will be completed in 2019."
Unless the plans have changed the lanes will be a 0.6m painted buffer:
The Preliminary Design Concept includes 1.5m wide buffered on-road cycling lanes that would be built as an extension of the asphalt road surface but would be separated from vehicular lanes by a 0.6 metre wide painted buffer to increase the separation distance between vehicles and cyclists.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
