Earlier this year, at the same time that the Toronto Walking Strategy was adopted, City Council directed Transportation Services staff to work with Ryerson University and the University of Toronto to design and implement two pedestrian street projects.
On Sep 15, 2009 Toronto and East York Community Council further directed Transportation Services staff to consult with the University of Toronto, area residents and the local ward Councillor to review the feasibility of closing portions of some streets within the U of T to vehicular traffic in order to implement a pilot pedestrian street project in 2010.
On Nov 24th, TCAT was invited to participate in the first consultation committee meeting. TCAT was glad to be at the table and is helping to explore options for how to best integrate cyclists into these pedestrian priority projects, a challenging yet important balancing act.
