Martin Goodman Trail Bollards - TCAC recommendations referred to staff

On Wednesday, the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee reviewed the recommendations submitted by the Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee (TCAC) regarding the bollards on the Martin Goodman Trail where it meets the Boulevard Club.

TCAT made a deputation at the meeting in favour of the TCAC's recommendations. After minimal discussion, the committee decided to refer the matter back to staff to consult with interested parties, including the Boulevard Club and local councillor Gord Perks, and to report back to the committee at its meeting on April 9th.

While this decision likely won't please cyclists who have been demanding the removal of the bollards since they were installed last summer, the issue is still open and your continued involvement is important. 

If you want your opinion heard, write:

• The General Manager Transportation Services, Gary Welsh - welsh@toronto.ca
• The General Manager of Parks, Forestry and Recreation, Brenda Librecz - blibrecz@toronto.ca

Getting closer the April 19 meeting, it will also be important to write the committee or, better yet, make a deputation. Please be sure to carbon copy TCAT on your correspondence.
