Walk Toronto has written to City Council to support the Eglinton Complete Streets project (in this case, from Bicknell Avenue to Mount Pleasant Road).
Michael Black writes:
During the Crosstown construction period, pedestrians have endured walking conditions on and near Eglinton Ave. that have been unsafe, unpleasant and inconvenient. Although Metrolinx has recently been rolling out streetscape improvements in the vicinity of Crosstown LRT stations, the interstitial sections of Eglinton Ave. located between stations also require significant enhancement. This is the responsibility of the City of Toronto. The ultimate goal should be a harmonized streetscape that supports pedestrians in a seamless manner along the entirety of the Eglinton Crosstown route.
