Ward 21s Proposed New Bicycle Facilities Meeting

posted by Joe on 4/20/2007 | 0 Comments |

Councillor Joe Mihevc and Toronto Transportation staff invite you to attend a Public Open House to review and provide comments on the proposed bicycle facilities in Ward 21.

Date: Wednesday May 2, 2007

Place: Rakoczi House – 747 St. Clair Avenue West

The key routes include:

· a signed route on Vaughan Road

· an east-west signed route that connects to the proposed Rogers Road bike lanes

· an east-west signed route parallel to St. Clair Avenue

· a north-south route on Christie Street with bike lanes

Bike Lane Proposal on Christie Street – St. Clair Avenue W to Dupont Street:

From St. Clair Avenue West to Davenport Road, bicycle lanes can be added to Christie Street with minimal impact on traffic or parking. The most significant change associated with the bicycle lane proposal will be a reduction in traffic lanes from two to one in each direction for the section of Christie Street south of Davenport Road. Parking for this section will also be limited to one side of the street. Stopping will be prohibited on the west side of the street, and parking permitted at all times on the east side.

The proposed bike lane design would result in the following cross-section south of Davenport Road:

Toronto Transportation staff will be submitting a report to the Toronto and East York Community Council meeting of May 29, 2007 on the bicycle lanes and related parking and stopping regulations.

If you are unable to attend the Public Open House but would like to provide us with your comments, please fill out the attached feedback form and send your response to David Dunn, Transportation Services by mail or email to bikeplan@toronto.ca or fax to 416-392-4808. Please return by May 9, 2007.
