Walk Toronto wrote to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee to express its support for the extension of the Bloor West complete street from Runnymede Road to Resurrection Road.
The plan will reduce speed limits and add cycle tracks, which will have the benefit of calming traffic and buffering pedestrians from vehicle traffic.
However, Walk Toronto also noted a plan to replace a section of grass boulevard where the sidewalk is missing with a temporary on-road, painted pedestrian path. We expressed concern about this plan, which could be unsafe for pedestrians, urging the committee to implement a full separate sidewalk at the same time as the cycle tracks.
