Walk Toronto writes to support transformation of Avenue Road for pedestrian safety

Walk Toronto has written to the Toronto East York Community Council, and earlier to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee, to support the proposed transformation of Avenue Road between Bloor and Dupont into a four-lane main street (rather than a 6-lane highway).

Walk Toronto has also proposed that, given the extremely narrow sidewalks between Davenport and Dupont, for the sake of safety and accessibility some unneeded parking spaces be removed to create more space for pedestrians, and simple platforms be used to make all additional pedestrian spaces level with the sidewalk.
