Here's a wrap-up of all the newsy posts I've done since last Friday. Enjoy.
Councillor Paula Fletcher is inviting you to discuss cycling and pedestrian facilities over 3 bridges in the Lower Don area: The Dundas Bridge over the Don (currently under re-construction), the Unwin Ave. Bridge (also under re-construction) and a "Future West Donlands/Eastern Ave Bridge", which I can only hope is a possible pedestrian and cyclist-only bridge that would replace the old Eastern Avenue bridge over the Don that has been abandoned for years.
This is at Strachan and Lakeshore. The blue is intended to highlight a conflict point where drivers merge across the bike lane to make a right turn. It sounds like this is a test area to see how long the colour lasts.
Some members of ARC got together over the weekend to mark the memory of the Mississauga cyclist killed a week ago at the intersection of Mavis and Central Parkway.
I was shooting at the legislature today with my back turned to the road when I heard a yell and a bump. I spun around to see a woman laying on the street after being hit by a taxi. Several people immediately ran into the street to help-some attending to the victim while others blocked off and redirected the traffic. Three bicycle police happened to be stationed at the legislative buildings behind me and arrived within a minute of the accident.
An early morning crash Saturday in Peel Region left a woman in hospital fighting for her life. Today, she succumbed to her injuries.
