the City has responded. It appears that the City has taken a position
whereby pedestrian and cyclist needs cannot be fully met - a compromise
is needed. The following is an update from the City's public
consultation coordinator working on the project.

Over the past months - through consultation with TCAT, the Toronto Pedestrian Committee, and others - the City has continued to develop and draft its Walking Strategy.

To continue with its consultation process, the City is hosting three
open houses over the next couple of weeks to present its work to date
and to hear more on how members of the public think that Toronto can be
made more walkable.

As reported in last week's TCAT News e-Bulletin, the City is embarking on an environmental assessment to improve the streetscape along Jarvis Street, beginning with a public meeting last Wednesday evening.

News from some TCAT supporters who attended the event reported that the vision does not currently include a bike lane. This came in from one TCAT supporter who asked that we share this message.

Metrolinx has requested directly that TCAT and its supporters provide feedback on their Active Transportation Green Paper.

Thanks to Spacing Toronto for the notice on this upcoming project.

For those in the Scarlett Road / Dundas Street West / St. Clair Avenue West area of Toronto, the City has completed its Environmental Assessment to "address existing traffic safety and operational concerns and long term mobility needs" at this complicated and potentially dangerous interchange.

The recommended design includes two lanes in either direction with a bike lane on Scarlett Road.
