Today is our last day to send in feedback about the Jarvis Streetscape Improvement Project.The City is looking to eliminate 1 of Jarvis' 5 lanes, and wants your opinion on what should be done with the space. A treed median? Wider sidewalks? Bikelanes?
There has been a lot of support for bikelanes on Jarvis, as it is currently a very dangerous and highway-like biking experience, but drivers in North Toronto and Rosedale are starting to kick up a fuss about losing a "quick link" to downtown, even though city studies show only a few seconds will be added to a trip when the street is reduced from 5 to 4 lanes.
Please email your thoughts
to: jarvis@toronto.caClicking that email link should open up an email addressed to the above addresses and with the subject line "I support Bikelanes on Jarvis". Give it a try.
