At the October 2023 meeting of the City of Toronto’s Infrastructure and Environment Committee, Walk Toronto submitted communications on three items with direct implications for walking in Toronto.
For the item “Congestion Management Plan 2023-2026,” Walk Toronto’s Lee Scott wrote to the committee expressing concern that this plan for construction site management did not focus sufficiently on pedestrian and cyclist safety, and identified further steps needed to improve construction site safety for pedestrians.
