To
be
here
with
you,
I'm
here
today,
for
two
reasons,
first
and
foremost,
is
to
give
my
full
support
to
the
cycling
Network
Plan
Update
that
you're
considering
here
today,
staff
have
done
a
tremendous
job
of
taking
the
2016
plan
updating
on
the
progress
today
and
charting
a
path
forward.
That's
really
going
to
allow
us
to
implement
and
build
out
our
near-term
priorities.
I
think
that's
a
helpful
way
of
doing
it.
B
I
think
it's
going
to
result
as
we're
gonna,
see
emotions
coming
forward
here,
more
action
on
safe
cycling
infrastructure
and
provide
us
a
pathway
to
actually
get
it
delivered
very
much
in
this
term
of
council.
So
I'm
excited
about
that.
The
second
and
most
important
reason
I'm
here
today,
is
to
join
my
community,
the
deputies
that
we
heard
today
in
actually
calling
for
the
design.
B
Cycling
pilot
on
Danforth
I
know
that
my
community
road
safety
is
a
huge
priority.
This
is
something
that
I
hear
over
and
over
every
day
we
can
out
emails
phone
calls.
Community
meetings,
and
the
time
is
now
to
advance
that
work.
The
deputies
that
we
heard
today
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
their
participation.
B
The
four
hundred
plus
pieces
of
Correspondence
that
the
committee
here
has
received
the
hundreds
of
emails
that
I've
received
personally
makes
one
message
very
clear
for
us,
and
that
is
that
road
safety
is
a
major
concern
for
residents
of
the
Danforth
corridor.
Tamm
fourth
is
one
of
the
most
heavily
used.
Cycling
proof
airs
in
the
city
that
doesn't
actually
have
a
bike
lane.
Every
day,
I
personally
joined
thousands
of
cyclists
who
make
the
trip
to
work
shop
at
our
local
businesses
visit
friends,
and
we
do
it.
Bicycling
on
Danforth
I.
B
Think
it's
a
critical
connection-
and
you
guys
know
this
east-west
cycling
through
the
heart
of
the
City
of
Toronto,
as
our
city
continues
to
grow
as
more
and
more
people
come
here.
We
are
a
magnet
for
jobs
and
talent
and
immigration.
We
aren't
building
more
roads,
but
we
need
to
facilitate
transportation.
We
need
to
facilitate
the
new
ways
and
the
new
modes
that
people
are
moving
in
this
city
and
Complete
Streets
are
the
the
best
and
safest
way
that
we
can
do
that.
B
It's
also
worth
noting
that
we've
got
billions
of
dollars
of
transit
infrastructure,
literally
under
the
ground
and
Danforth,
and
some
of
the
most
iconic
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
So
Danvers
should
be
a
complete
Street
to
go
along
and
compliment
that.
The
motion
that
we're
presenting
here
today
and
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague,
friend
councilor
McKelvey,
for
bringing
this
forward
on
the
committee.
Big
supporter
as
well,
really
does
chart
a
path
forward
for
us
on
Danforth.
B
It
asks
planning
and
complete
Street
study
to
be
completed
by
June,
21st
June
2021
and
to
solidify
the
commitment
in
the
report
and
the
way
we're
setting
it
up.
There
is
so
that
we
can
actually
take
the
outcomes
and
the
recommendations
that
come
from
a
very
substantial
consultation
process
that
we're
gonna
go
through
together
as
a
community
and
actually
move
forward
with
those
recommendations
it
gives
staff
the
opportunity,
as
we
heard
here
today,
to
engage
with
the
community
in
meaningful
way
and
substantive
way
over
the
next
coming
months.
B
We're
currently
evaluating
submissions
for
an
engagement
consultant.
There
will
be
public
consultations
starting
later
this
summer
and
into
the
fall
and
the
work
plan
that
we've
developed
on
the
quarter
study
already
contemplates
five
public
meetings:
five
stakeholder
advisory
committee
meetings,
three
interest
groups,
meetings,
pop-up
consultations
and
a
monthly
steering
committee
meeting,
which
myself
and
counselor
Fletcher
will
be
sitting
on.
After
the
extensive
consultation,
we
will
be
presented
with
a
work
plan
update
one
year
from
now.
B
That's
what
we
have
in
the
motion
and
as
part
of
that
staff
will
be
coming
back
with
a
detailed
design
for
what
could
be
a
dam
for
cycling
pilot.
This
is
a
critical
step.
We
have
to
do
the
design
work
and,
as
we
heard
from
staff
here
today,
we
get
better
designs
and
we
get
better
outcomes.
When
we
work
with
the
community,
we
shouldn't
be
striving
to
create
unnecessary
delays
when
it
comes
to
cycling
infrastructure,
but
it
is
really
important
to
bring
people
along
in
that
process.
B
D
D
But
in
addition,
as
this
is
a
really
important
project
for
the
city
to
build,
not
just
these
lanes,
but
also
those
across
across
the
city,
because
the
transform
tío
goal
is,
we
have
75%
of
people
walking
or
biking
for
trips
less
than
5
kilometers
by
2050,
and
so
this
is
an
important
step
in
that
direction.
And
I
will,
as
the
years
go
by
here
in
my
term
of
counsel,
will
be
asking
that
staff
start
to
break
down
that
goal
into
smaller
sub
steps.
So
we
have
a
goal
for
2030.
D
They
are
also
important
commuter
corridors
as
well,
but
that
being
the
meadow
way
and
the
Scarborough
waterfront
trail
I
think
both
are
transect
all
of
Scarborough
they're
somewhere,
where
we
should
be
prioritizing
implementing
more
resources
and
getting
those
built
so
that
we
have
that
recreational
opportunity,
but
also
that
ability
to
use
them
as
a
transportation
corridor.
Thank
you.
E
The
City
Council
requests
the
general
manager
transportation
services.
Consider
as
part
of
the
plan
resurfacing
of
Harvard
Street,
an
update
to
the
existing
bike,
not
an
update.
That
probably
should
be
upgrade
to
the
existing
bike
lane
to
coat
rack,
including
appropriate
consultation
with
stakeholders
for
City
Council
requests,
general
manager,
transportation
services
to
initiate
planning
design
consultation
for
an
extension
of
the
Bloor
Street
West
cycle
track
from
Shaw
Street
to
Hyde
Park
Avenue,
with
implementation
targeted
to
take
place
as
early
as
summer
2025.
E
The
City
Council
requests
a
general
manager
transportation
services
to
consider
as
part
of
the
bluer
East
cycle
track
improvements.
The
feasibility
of
establishing
a
separate
bike
lane
on
Bloor
Street
from
Avenue
Road
to
Church
Street,
connecting
the
Bloor
Street
cycle
track
on
Bloor
Street
East
and
blur
Street
West
SiC
City
Council,
request
general
manager,
transportation
services
to
triple
the
number
of
bike
rings.
E
Installation
installed
on
the
Danforth
7
City
Council
request
the
general
manager,
transportation
services,
take
measures
to
improve
pedestrian
safety,
especially
for
seniors,
and
to
serve
seniors
residences
along
the
Danforth
and
eight
accounts
to
request
general
manager
transportation
services
to
initiate
the
detailed
design
of
a
pilot
project
from
eastbound
and
westbound
cycle
tracks
on
the
Danforth
from
Coxwell
to
broad
view,
which
takes
loading
and
unloading
issues
into
account.
Nine
is
the
last
one.
Please
be
the
last
one.
E
I,
don't
want
them
to
have
to
go
through
that
level
of
work
again,
not
that
quickly,
but
to
just
give
us
an
update
to
give
us
an
idea
of
what
is
advancing
and
and
and
what
we're
having
trouble
moving
forward,
partly
because
we
had
a
really
ambitious
bike
plan
and
even
in
areas
of
the
city
like
the
downtown
core,
where
we
had
a
community
that
was
very
supportive
of
moving
forward
and
the
counselor.
That
was
very
supportive.
It
was
difficult
to
move
projects
forward
and
I
for
one
reason
or
another.
E
We
we
didn't
get
as
far
as
I
think
we
wanted
to
in
our
network
coverage
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
I'd
like
to
change
that
I'd
like
to
change
that
I'd
also
like
to
try
to
make
the
plan
as
presented
more
ambitious
and
how
fast
we
advance
on
some
of
these.
How
much
of
the
of
the
network
is
going
to
be
just
painted
lines
and
how
much
is
going
to
be
a
structured
cycle
track
Network.
E
Some
of
them
are
very
local
for
me,
and
some
of
them
are
are
quite
a
bit
bigger,
I
bike.
Every
day,
I
use
some
of
these
actual
exact
routes
that
we
talk
about
every
day.
It
is
still
very
dangerous
out
there
on
the
streets
of
Toronto.
If
you
choosing
to
ride
a
bike,
apparently
it
is
if
you're
just
walking
as
well,
and
we
need
to
do
all
we
can
all
we
can
in
the
eliminate
in
the
limited
amount
of
time
we
have
here
on
council
to
start
achieving
these
targets.
E
Not
only
is
it
just
trying
to
make
things
safer
and
reduce
the
number
of
casualties
that
we
see
out
on
the
road.
Well,
we
also
have
a
very
strong
target
so
that
we
we
help
achieve
our
transform
tío
goals
and
in
our
reduction
of
admissions
we
have
very
strong
targets,
so
we
can
try
to
get
people
out
of
cars
and
and
relieving
congestion
in
our
city.
E
We
also
and
should
have
strong
policies
and
want
to
achieve
these
targets
to
help
build
a
more
healthy
and
active
City,
and
that's
what
I
hope
we
can
get
more
ambitious
and
I
hope
we
can
advance
some
of
these
projects
faster.
Some
of
these
are
in
response
to
what
we
heard
today
from
citywide
activists
and
communities,
and
some
of
which
I
get
from
both
my
own
community,
as
well
as
my
the
ward,
11
cycling
cycle,
tío
Advocacy
Committee,
so
I'm
happy
to
bring
these
forward
and
hope
that
you'll
support
them.
F
So
that's
fairly
self-explanatory.
If
you
want
to
put
in
a
bike
lane,
we
have
to
put
in
a
system
in
place
to
evaluate
where
they
should
be
put
in
where
they
shouldn't
be
put.
The
second
one
is
City
Council
direct,
the
general
manager
transportation
services
to
develop
a
back-end
review
process
for
evaluating
the
success
of
new
cycling
infrastructure
that
measures
usage
against
defined
metrics
such
as
number
of
cyclists.
This
would
help
for
in
it
within
this
cycling
space.
If
something
is
working
very
well,
it'll
reinforce
that
these
these
cycling
initiatives
are
justified.
F
The
third
one-
and
this
is
I've-
been
thinking
I've-
had
this
one
thinking
about
this
one
for
a
long
time,
because
it's
done
in
other
places,
city,
council,
director,
general
manager,
transportation
services
to
develop
a
pilot
project
to
allow
bike
traffic
on
sidewalks,
for
example,
where
there's
a
high
volume
of
car
traffic
and
fewer
pedestrians
and
report
back
by
the
fourth
quarter,
2020
on
the
merits
of
allowing
cyclists
on
designated
sidewalks.
So,
for
example,
you
would
never
do
this
in
the
downtown
like
on
Yonge
Street
or
anything
cuz
it.
F
But,
but
you
know
in
a
council,
McKelvey's
nodding
your
head.
We
know
that
in
in
a
number
of
in
the
suburbs,
people
walk
within
subdivisions,
but
they
don't
walk
on
busy
road.
So,
for
example,
I
use
the
space
on
in
my
area
on
Lawrence
Avenue
between
Victoria
Park
and
the
Don
Valley
Parkway.
Hardly
anybody
walks
on
those
sidewalks
and
instead
of
putting
in
a
separated
bike
lane,
you
could
actually
let
them
ride
on
the
sidewalks,
because
there
aren't
a
lot
of
pedestrians
and
still
even
in
that
context,
they
would
still
given
the
existing
legislation.
F
It
would
still
require
them
to
give
the
right-of-way
to
pedestrians,
so
what
you
actually
do
is
use
the
existing
infrastructure,
that's
under
utilized
to
make
cyclists
safer,
and
you
only
do
it
in
places
where
there's
not
a
lot
of
pedestrians
and
I
know
that
this
is
done
in
other
jurisdictions.
So
I'm
asking
for
a
report
just
to
consider
that
not
to
take
any
decision
on
it,
but
just
like,
let's
see
what
other
jurisdictions
are
doing,
let's
have
a
discussion
about
it.
F
It's
not
made
for
every
community,
but
you
know
there
are
some
places
where
you
got
sidewalks
that
nobody
uses,
let's
put
them
to
good
use
and
then
finally,
City
Council
direct
the
general
manager
transportation
services
to
perform
a
count
on
cycling,
cyclists
using
the
Flemington,
Park
and
thorn
Cliff
bike
lanes
in
August
2020,
so
they've
been
in
for
a
bit
now
and
we
need
a
little
bit
of
time
to
let
people
get
used
to
them.
But
there's
a
big
push
back
in
the
fleming
community
and
also
the
thorn
cliff
community.
F
There
was
a
meeting
in
the
wintertime
that
the
mayor
attended
with
councillor
Robinson
and
I.
The
community
was
furious
about
those
bike
lanes
and
so
the
staff
said:
well,
you
got
to
give
it
a
chance,
so
let's
give
it
a
chance,
but
then
let's
do
a
count
and
see
if
these
bike
lanes
are
working
out,
so
the
Fleming
I'm
not
going
to
I'm,
not
saying
so
I'd
like
to
see
what
the
counts
are,
get
a
report
back
next
year.
F
So
if
it
works
in
the
community
and
go
back
to
community
and
say
look
these
are
it's.
You
know.
These
bike
lanes
are
really
being
used
a
lot
and
it
kind
of
basically
tells
them
that
it's
being
used
a
lot
and
if
it's
not,
we
should
have
a
discussion
about
this.
We
need
to
be
able
to
defend
our
bike
lanes
and
we
should
be
able
to
defend
the
numbers
and
that's
that's
the
reason
for
that
now.
I
do
you
have
my
other
motion,
the
amendment
to
councilor?
F
Yes,
so,
and
then
this
is
council
Layton's
motion
because
I
didn't
know
he
was
going
to
raise
University
Avenue,
so
I
just
quickly.
Did
this
counselor
consider
alternative
streets
to
University
Avenue
such
as
I
did
I
didn't,
say:
Berkeley
I
said
it
was
a
different
Street.
It
was
Beverly
so
as
lanes
not
all
the
way
down.
Does
it
have
all
the
way
down.
E
F
It
Beverly
Queen,
okay.
Well,
you
know
what
I'd
like
to
consider
alternatives
to
unify
so
just
take
a
alternative
to
University
Avenue.
So
what
you
have
to
know
about
this
is
back
about
nine
years
ago,
I
put
in
I
will
move.
I
was
chair,
the
the
the
this
committee
and
we
put
in
the
first
Network
and
the
network
was
Sherbourne
Richmond
Wellesley
and
there
wasn't
the
the
fourth
leg
to
make
a
network
a
square
network
in
the
downtown
was
I
think
it
was.
F
F
E
F
Well,
I,
you
know,
I
I
have
thought
about
what
you
need
to
do
so
I
think
someone
I
think
counts
are
Bradford's.
Motion
that
counts
are
McKelvey
moved
for
him
said
to
put
counters
in
so
part
of
that
evaluation
would
be
putting
some
type
of
counter
in
to
get
some
sort
of
like
how
many
people
are
using
them.
So
I,
don't
I
think
that
within
if
we
do
have
counters
that
all
it
would,
you
know,
I,
don't
think
it
would
have
to
be
massively
expensive.
I
mean
at
a
first
instance.
E
F
F
Difference
is
you
know
my
approach
in
terms
of
evaluating
the
backend
of
whether
these
cycle
tracks
work,
my
approach,
costs
and
this
this
idea
cost
thousands
of
dollars.
The
approach
in
the
previous
item
would
cost
tens
of
millions
of
dollars,
so
the
scale
of
it
in
terms
of
you
know
putting
a
signal
light
at
every
bus.
Stop
is,
is
you
know,
infinitesimally
smaller?
F
I
think
you
know,
I
think
the
cycling
community
and
the
public
in
general
deserve
to
know
and
if
you
want
and
if
you
want
to
add
credibility
to
the
cycling
initiative
and
the
button
and
the
bike
lanes
that
we're
gonna
choose
and
also
the
provide
some
discipline
to
our
staff
to
pick
areas
where
cyclists
are
actually
going
to
be.
It
actually
adds
to
the
program
to
have
some
discipline
to
put
bike
lanes
in
where
people
are
going
to
use
them.
I'm.
F
The
motion-
let
me
just
answer
that
question
briefly:
there's
a
nice
man
here
who
wasn't
part
of
kind
of
the
regular
cycling,
people
that
we
see
here
and
he
and
he
and
the
community
that
he
lives
in
showed,
let's
say
a
healthy
skepticism
toward
the
installation
of
cycling
network.
You
validate
the
network
and
the
capital
program
by
actually
getting
those
numbers.
Mm-Hmm.
E
I
can
ask
just
one
last
questions
on
item
number
one,
because
part
of
the
reason
why
we're
building
bike
lanes
is
to
get
people
more
comfortable,
so
they'll
actually
start
biking.
But
if
you
start
from
the
reverse,
by
saying
we,
you
need
to
have
a
certain
number
of
cyclists
in
order
to
justify
putting
a
bike
lane
in
is.
That
is
that,
where
you're
trying
to
go
with
that
or
am
I
incorrect,
I
may
be
incorrect
about
that.
I
would.
F
F
F
So
I
again
at
the
front,
end
I,
think
there's
a
lot
of
skepticism
toward
pulling
the
trigger
on
bike
lanes
and
I
think
that
we
do
all
sorts
of
studies
beforehand.
I
mean,
for
example,
councillor
Bradford's
motion
talked
about
doing
a
lot
of
studies,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
at
the
front
end
is
is
instead
of
saying:
let's
move
forward
with
this
without
any
targets,
so
you're
going
to
do
a
study
and
you're
gonna
get
something
bad
and
it's
gonna
say
you
know
so
many
cyclists.
F
A
A
D
G
A
A
F
A
G
G
A
A
H
Afternoon,
thank
you
for
your
time
and,
let's
hope,
let's
hope
we
can
do
a
lot
more.
Certainly
it's
nice
to
see
some
small
things
being
approved
and
brought
forward.
I
worry
that
maybe
they're
not
the
more
important
small
stuff.
For
me,
the
bit
of
Bloor
Street
East
between
Sherbourne
and
church
is
also
subway.
Relief.
H
We
see
that
the
east-west
roads
in
the
the
sort
of
rose
pink
salmon
were
what
the
the
the
cyclists
had
were
consulted
in
water
to
actually
see.
Bluer
was
not
included
in
the
this.
This
thing
because
it
was
going
to
be
a
separate
study
from
2008,
and
then
that
didn't
happen.
We
wanted
to
save
$500,000,
and
so
the
the
whole
study
was
scrapped.
H
So
Argyle
is
a
little
bit
there.
But
quite
honestly,
it's
it's!
It's
very
frustrating
that,
yes,
it's
something,
but
it's
always
the
smaller
side
streets
that
we're
doing
not
the
larger
connections
and
Parkdale
is
a
neighborhood
improvement
area.
There
are
very
limited
opportunities
for
getting
from
Parkdale
in
to
this
area.
Ie
Queen
is
very
important,
so
is
king
and
then
okay,
there's
Brock
and
Lansdowne,
and
but
it's
all
dodgy,
it
was
noted
in
the
bike
plan
that
there's
actually
a
large
hole
which
shows
up
kind
of
in
this
this
area.
H
Here
plus
there
are
the
streetcar
track
issues
and
if
you
look
at
the
bike
plan
as
well
the
2001
bike
plan,
it's
very
interesting
that
in
the
park
dale
area,
we
haven't
actually
managed
to
do
even
the
signed
routes
that
are
shown
up
on
Liberty
Street
and
there's
nothing
on
King,
Street,
yet
and
I,
don't
think
the
Queensway
actually
has
even
the
signs
put
up.
So
that's
we're.
You
know
how
costly
are
signs
to
put
up.
So
yes,
we're
doing
things,
but
it's
it's.
H
It
feels
so
inferior
and
it's
kind
of
you
know
disappointing
the
other
aspect
to
things
it's
not
merely
putting
in
a
bike
facility,
but
also
making
sure
that
it's
maintained
year-round.
This
is
just
one
image
of
this
is
bluer
on
Sherbourne
we,
if
you're,
going
to
put
in
a
bike
lane,
please
do
the
maintenance
in
a
proper
way
and
I,
just
don't
plow
it
all
out.
Just
give
us
a
consistent
half,
please
just
a
consistent
half
the
Bloor
annex
area
separated
lane.
H
C
Afternoon,
console
Boston
Oh
Thank
You
councillor,
sir
I'd,
like
to
thank
the
committee
for
coming
up
with
a
comprehensive
and
ambitious
plan
for
adding
to
the
existing
network
of
bike
lanes
I'm
here
today
to
appeal
to
the
planners
to
consider
slightly
amending
that
plan
and
I'm
here
to
do
that
for
safety
reasons.
The
curvature
of
Vaughan
Road
creates
some
unique
problems
at
corner
intersections.
C
The
intersection
of
Oakwood
and
Warren
Road
shows
this
very
clearly.
It
is
actually
called
a
five
point.
Intersection
and
cause
traveling
south
are
prohibited
from
turning
right
because
it
amounts
to
a
u-turn.
In
fact,
it's
actually
more
like
a
V
turn
because
of
the
sharp
angle.
Now
this
restriction
was
not
put
in
for
the
purpose
of
redirecting
traffic,
because
Vaughan
road
is
already
capped
where
the
Fairbank
Metrolink
station
is
being
built.
So
this
restriction
was
put
in
for
safety
reasons.
C
C
C
By
suspending
the
plan
to
move
parking
from
the
north
side
of
Warren
Road
to
the
south
side,
I
also
would
like
to
suggest
that
they
consider
adding
a
bike
lane
on
Vaughan
road.
That
would
start
at
the
Fairbank
Metrolink
station
and
goal,
perhaps
as
far
as
possible.
Southbound
towards
st.
Clair
I
think
that
this
plan
would
find
favor
with
all
the
constituents,
because
there's
no
need
for
any
changes
to
the
bylaw
amendments
for
moving
parking
and
it
would
be
lower
cost
as
well
as
high
value,
because
you're
adding
more
even
more
bike
lanes
than
you.
C
I
I
I
Don't
even
know
if
those
forty
people
were
from
our
neighborhood,
so
I
just
don't
see,
I
see
that
we
need
to
do
more
consultation
and
talk
about
where
to
put
this,
where
to
put
the
bike
lanes
so
in
our
neighborhood
I
have
spoken
to
several
neighbors
and
I
have
not
found
a
lot
of
support
for
this
so
and
I'm
and
I
don't
know
if,
if
all
the
studies
have
actually
been
done,
I've
not
seen
anything
on
paper.
I,
don't
know
how
this
is
just
being
pushed
through
like
this.
A
G
F
F
I
I
I
J
So
I'm
I'm
here
to
my
second
deputation.
It's
here
I'm
here
to
discuss
cycle
tracks
being
planned
on
wala
del.
Haven't
you
I
live
I'd,
say
about
200
meters,
away
from
Walla,
Dale,
Avenue,
north
of
Finch
and
I
guess
what's
happening
in
our
neighborhood.
You
heard
from
the
president
of
silver
View
is
a
bottleneck
is
being
created
between
Finch
Avenue
and
up
to
Bishop
Avenue,
as
they
are
not
actually
physically
reconstructing
the
area.
J
It's
it's
really
like
it's
it's
backed
up
because
cars
are
turning
right
and
left
and
the
way
it's
being
reconstructed
will
actually
reduce
the
number
of
Spira
do
stem
out
of
space
on
those
in
that
area.
As
as
I
mentioned
in
my
previous
slide,
there
were
zero
to
one
point:
six
percent
of
people
that
actually
use
that
road
to
get
to
work.
J
J
They
are
removing
bus
bays
as
part
of
a
oda
requirements.
This
is
actually
not
fact,
I
in
speaking
with
the
baby
comin,
aber
hood
Association,
so
review,
who
confirmed
with
the
of
Ontario.
This
is
not
actually
a
requirement
to
eliminate
sight
this.
The
new
standards
that
are
being
put
in
place
are
not
consistent
and
they
are.
They
require
a
consultation.
J
There
was
no
consultation
on
the
accessibility
requirements.
In
addition
to
that,
I
attended
the
consultation
that
was
held
on
your
website.
It
says
40
residents
attended
the
consultation
that
is
not
accurate,
because
the
staff
report
now
says
40
participants
and
with
the
day
before
there
there
was
email,
consultation,
media
post
out.
That
said
that
got
all
the
cycle.
J
Toronto
people
to
come,
the
amount
of
actual
residents
who
lived
in
the
area
were
not
consulted
and
it
was
pushed
the
the
plan
is
just
being
pushed
forward
and
it's
going
to
have
a
huge
impact
on
our
area
because
a
lot
of
us,
a
significant
amount
of
us,
drive
to
work
in
that
area
and
along
that
corridor.
It's
our
only
our
only
way
past
the
traffic
on
Yonge
Street,
and
it's
right
now.
J
It's
used
only
by
our
mostly
by
our
residents
who
live
and
work
commuting,
north
out
of
the
city
to
other
parts
of
the
city
and
as
well
as
getting
using
it
to
get
to
finch
station.
So
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
and
congestion
that
will
be
created
when
those
bus
bays
are
removed
and
that's
of
concern
and
again,
like
I,
said
it
doesn't.
It's
not.
J
I
almost
certainly
did
not
receive
any
notification
for
this
technical
change.
So
you
know
if
there
is
a
plan
being
put
forth,
I,
encourage
you
to
communicate
with
the
people
of
the
area
and
have
proper
consultations
because
less
than
40
people
and
and
putting
a
whole
our
whole
arterial
road.
That
is
basically
where
we
push
all
our
traffic
in
in
my
neighborhood
I.
Don't
want
to
see
a
bottleneck
created
I,
don't
want
to
see
those
cars
coming
into
my
neighborhood
sitting,
my
kids
on
the
street.
J
K
We
feel
that
more
consultation
is
required,
like
forty
people
representing,
and
then
this
video
giving
the
view
is
not
full
representation
of
the
feedback.
What
is
required
to
make
this
change
and
again
we
are
definitely
in
favor
of
bike
lanes,
but
again
the
main
the
the
concern
is
that
all
the
other
factors
are
also
taken
into
consideration
properly,
making
any
change
for
giving
room
for
the
bike
lanes.
K
K
K
We
want
more
study
done
about
how
many
people
are
actually
using
bikes
down
Villa
del,
because
we
want
the
bike
link.
Blayne
installation
goes
on
priority,
where
it
best
belongs
to
where
it
best
belongs
to.
So
we
want
more
studies
about
how
many
people
are
actually
using
cars
and
then
how
many
people
are
using
bikes
down
Villa
del
and
a
proper
studies
before
making
any
change.
Thank
you
thank.
F
F
Would
you
would
you
be,
would
you
be,
would
you
be
more,
what
would
you
find
it
more
acceptable
if
the
sort
of
less
than
permanent
measures
were
put
in
and
then
after,
let's
say
18
months,
they
came
back
and
we
kind
of
they
kind
of
saw
what
the
impact
was.
So
you
could
actually
have
a
almost
it's,
not
a
pilot
project,
but
you
actually
can
evaluate
their
effectiveness.
That.
A
E
L
That's
correct
the
the
will
Adela
Avenue
project
is
a
minority
railroad
with
16,000
vehicles
a
day.
It
has
one
lane
in
each
direction
with
some
turn
lanes
at
intersections.
We
can
accommodate
these
buffered
bike
lanes
or
cycle
tracks
through
narrowing
the
width
of
the
existing
travel
lanes,
which
is
not
something
we
often
are
able
to
do.
In
this
case.
L
E
L
Correct
as
part
of
the
reconstruction,
the
bus
phase
don't
currently
meet
the
standards
for
the
TTC
bus
ramp
to
be
deployed
onto
the
sidewalk
and
somebody
in
a
mobility
device
to
be
able
to
to
disembark
from
the
bus
safely
onto
the
sidewalk.
So
even
without
the
bike
lanes,
the
the
ramps
would
there,
the
bus
phase
need
to
be
widened
or
removed
so
that
the
bus
pads
can
be
widened.
L
There
were
concerns
with
the
configuration
of
having
the
bike
lane
on
the
same
side
as
the
parking
in
this
scenario
because
of
the
space
available,
and
it
would
be
a
door
zone,
and
so
if
there
is
more
space
to
be
able
to
provide
the
parking
on
the
south
side
so
that
a
shared
travel
lane
where
cyclists
can
be
safely
further
away
from
the
doors
is
achievable
in
this
scenario.
So.
A
F
So
this
relates
to
the
wheel.
Dale
bike
lane
I
mean
I'll,
just
say
the
councillor
feelings
not
hurt.
Here's
so
I
I
wish
she
was
so
that
he
could
kind
of
tell
us
what
he's
thinking,
but
so
what
I'm
gonna
propose
is
that
there
be
a
18-month
review
of
after
the
installation
of
the
Willowdale
bike
lanes
that
evaluates
delays
in
traffic
used
by
cyclists
and
other
community
issues.
F
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'd
like
to
thank
staff
for
bringing
the
report
forward.
I
would
have
hoped
that
award
11
project
may
have
made
it
in
this
year,
because
we've
got
some
some
work
that
we
need
to
get
done,
but
I
know
I
have
some
reconstruction
coming,
which
is
probably
when
I'm
going
to
see
some
of
those
projects
come
through.
Yet
all
changes,
hard
I
change
on
our
roads
if
you've
ever
had
to
deal
with
the
community
that
was
divided
on
the
issue
of
speed
humps,
for
instance,
you'll
know,
all
change
is
hard.
E
Stop
spend
months
in
many
cases,
sometimes
even
years.
I
know
with
the
case
of
Argyll.
This
has
been
in
discussion
for
three
years.
It's
one
block.
There
is
significant
community
debate
over
the
appropriateness
and
what's
happening,
everyone
fancies
themselves
the
transit
planet
when
it
comes
to
our
guy'll
street,
but
the
own
only
planners
we
have
in
this
room
right
now
are
sitting
right
here,
and
this
is
what
they're
recommending.
F
E
E
I,
don't
see
a
reason
for
us
to
send
any
back
for
consultation,
I,
don't
see
any
need
for
us
to
go
back
and
start
evaluating
every
single
bike
lane
months
after
they're,
put
in
at
great
expense,
I
might
add,
I
think
and
I'm
not
sure
what
what
counts
Herman
and
Wang
expects
to
accomplish.
Once
we
change
the
route
I'll
change
the
road
which
is
happening,
it's
a
really
build,
the
road
is
permanently
being
changed
and
then
and
the
bus
bays
are
being
removed.
E
Anyhow,
what
we
expect
to
achieve
by
going
back
in
the
truth
when,
when
the
lanes
itself
aren't
being
the
lanes
of
traffic
transportation
or
of
flow
through
traffic,
aren't
being
directly
impacted,
so
I
would
urge
the
committee
to
support
the
staff
recommendation
in
front
of
us
and
only
the
stock
staff
recommendation
in
front
of
us.
Thank
you.
D
You
mr.
chair,
there
are
Believe,
It
or
Not
to
bike
lanes
in
Scarborough.
In
my
works,
I'm
surprised
there
was
none
in
and
well
maybe
more,
but
in
my
ward,
there's
two
that
are
in
this
report
and
those
are
on
Conlon's
and
Lawrence
and
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
because
they
really
engaged
with
the
community
and
talked
with
them
to
alleviate
some
of
their
concerns.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work
on
this
file.
D
I
am
particularly
excited
by
these
two
bike
lanes
because
they
connect
with
the
meadow
way
that
we
hope
will
one
day
be
built
as
well
as
discover.
Waterfront
trail
and
I
mentioned
earlier.
I
think
both
others
are
incredibly
important.
Recreational,
but
also
quarters
that
could
be
used
for
for
people
to
ride,
to
work
in
the
future
and
so
I'm
very
delighted.
This
is
a
first
step
and
want
to
thank
staff
again
for
their
hard
work
on
this
file.
I
know
it
wasn't
easy.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
McKelvey,
any
on
anyone
else
to
speak.
I
I
took
carriage
of
emotion
from
councillor
Annunziata
if
we
could
put
that
on
the
screen
its
reference
on
page
five
of
the
report,
I
think
the
purpose
of
this
motion
is
really
to
sort
of
set
a
timing
in
a
location
on
where
this
report
will
go
and
I
said.
I
would
move
it
on
her
behalf.
G
A
A
A
Staff
would
like
to
start
working
on
and
even
though
it's
a
roll
out
in
2020,
they
want
to
start
negotiating
their
agreements
with
the
various
school
boards.
I
everyone's
complaining
that
we're
not
moving
fast
enough
well,
council
wanted
to
slow
things
down.
So
we've
brought
to
committee
because
this
is
a
committee
that
gets
things
done.
G
A
G
A
A
City
Council
authorized
the
general
manager,
transportation
services
in
consultation
with
the
seat
solicitor
to
negotiate,
enter
and
exec
executed.
An
amendment
to
the
existing
lease
of
city
decommissioned

system

Inc
to
remove
the
portion
of
city-owned

generally
located
between

to
include
the
replacement
of

to
the
scope
of

and
such
other
terms
and
conditions
satisfactory.
The

to
the
city

Oh
my
gosh.
A
A
A
G
G
M
You
very
much
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
and
speak
with
you
about
this
today,
so
our
Greenway
is
concept
for
Park
Conservancy
with
in
Northwest
Toronto.
The
intention
would
be
to
have
21
kilometre
Park
Conservancy
that
would
go
across
Finch,
and
this
has
the
support
of
the
Duke
Heights
BIA,
multiple
BIA
s
and
organizations
all
across
from
York
University
in
Seneca
Humber,
but
we're
crucially
linked
the
manufacturing
errors
with
the
schools
and
the
universities
and
with
the
housing
the
major
along
the
area.
Why
is
this?
Why
is
this
necessary
and
helpful?
M
Because
the
current
proposal
give
me
one?
Second,
sorry
right,
it
just
keeps
skipping
here
we
go.
The
current
proposal
to
put
in
the
lanes
effectively
deals
or
something
like
this.
Is
you
have
a
tractor?
Do
you
have
a
massive
truck
that
rumbles
by
that?
Can
you
know
multiple
tons?
People
don't
feel
safe
in
that
environment.
So
what
crucially,
does
a
Greenway
provide?
Well
right
now,
as
I'm
sure
counselors
know
you
deal
with
a
lot
of
that.
This
is
extremely
inefficient
issue
in
that,
of
course,
you
have
to
be
a
lot
of
these
drains
get
blocked.
M
M
Currently
you
speak
to
police
and
fire
and
they'll
tell
you
they
can't
even
get
through
the
streets,
because
they're
so
clogged,
instead
being
able
to
use
this
pathway,
which
they
would
be
able
to
do,
would
make
a
big
difference
for
fire,
EMS
and
police
and
in
terms
of
community
support.
You
know
this
has
been
a
multi-year
project.
Certainly
they
let
its
support
to
see
this
properly
looked
at
from
the
Albion,
isn't
in
the
square,
Duke
Heights
BIA
organizations
and
businesses
plug
and
drive.
Certainly
it's
been
one
of
the
big
supporters
they're
up
there
as
well.
D
M
There
is,
of
course,
you
know
within
C
of
Toronto.
You
have
the
bend
way,
which
is
in
fact
a
Land.
Conservancy
and
evergreen
is
another
example
of
another
Land
Conservancy
within
the
City
of
Toronto
that
has
been
very
successful,
its
doing
public
land.
Then
you
have
something
like
the
Indianapolis
cultural
Greenway.
Sorry,
the
endeavours
cultural
trail
in
Indianapolis
is
an
extensive
trail.
M
Around
13
kilometers
long
connects
communities
has
caused
about
a
billion
dollars
in
attributable
benefits
from
that
ninety
five
percent
of
people
feel
safe,
being
able
to
use
that
pathway
and
it's
being
able
to
offer
other
benefits
the
community
as
well.
Certainly
you
know,
especially
in
a
particular
case
like
this
were
and
I
should
say
it
was
in
fact
it
was
funded
almost
entirely
by
private
donations
and
by
public
grants
at
a
certain
level
from
the
from
the
federal
level
government
in
the
US.
So
there
are
good
examples
of
Park
conservancies.
M
The
resilient
Toronto
report
speaks
to
the
importance
of
pulling
on
these
exact
things,
the
philanthropic
arguments,
as
well
as
new
ways
of
being
able
to
take
care
of
the
streets
in
the
city,
and
you
know
all
of
this
in
a
lot
of
ways
is
pulled
from
City
reports,
both
in
terms
of
the
Parkland
report,
the
resilient
Toronto
report
and
other
reports
that
have
urged
that
the
city
look
at
these
sorts
of
successful
nonprofit
arrangements.
By
where
city
land
can
be
stewarded
at
better
cost.
The
taxpayers
and.
D
Then,
thanks
for
clarifying
some
of
what
you
meant
by
mobile
mobility
infrastructure
when
I
saw
mobility,
infrastructure
and
storm
water
protection
together,
I
was
thinking,
I,
don't
know
gondolas
or
something,
but
in
terms
of
the
stormwater
and
the
picture
that
you
showed
there
like.
Is
there
anything
that
needs
to
be
done
additionally
for
like
protection
from
vector,
you
know
disease
or
mosquitos,
or
things
like
that,
where
you
have
these
standing
waters
like
so
where's
this
been
implemented.
What
kind
of
risks
are
there
associated
with
that
and
how
is
that
managed
sure.
M
I
mean
I
should
say
that
this
is.
There
are
different
examples
of
blue
green
infrastructure
across
the
City
of
Toronto.
The
PRCA
has
been
a
great
leader,
including
also
the
Credit
Valley
Conservation
Authority
has
been
a
great
leader
in
this.
The
entire
intent
of
green
infrastructure
is
to
not
have
standing
water
if
you
had
having
standing
water
frankly,
you're
doing
it
wrong
because
you're
not
having
the
percolation
of
the
water,
and
that's
that's
what
it
does.
M
We
get
a
lot
of
standing
water
and
you
know
ice
melting
and
things
on
suburban
roadways
right
now,
because
they
in
the
doing
of
what
they
have
now,
it's
all
been
hard-packed,
so
nothing
goes
through
there.
The
snow
simply
falls
freezes
melts
and
it's
big
liability
mess
not
just
for
the
city,
but
also
for
the
people
who
have
to
try
this
right.
Okay,.
G
A
Any
other
questions
for
the
divisions,
I
I
just
have
a
couple:
there's
a
lot
of
infrastructure
going
in
along
the
same
route
in
West
LRT,
that's
trying
to
water
work,
repaving
transportation,
Toronto
Hydro!
How
do
you
overlay
all
of
those
different
projects
that
which
are
happening
over
multiple
years?
With
this
plan.
M
That's
a
good
question
and
that's
part
of
the
conversation
that
we
would
frankly
like
to
have
as
part
of
this
discussion.
Of
course
you
have
Jane.
You
have
Kip
Lincoln,
which
is
being
looked
at
as
part
of
this,
because
they're
on
the
areas
that
Council
has
identified
as
places
for
pieces
for
small
businesses
to
pop
up
in
residential
tower
areas
as
well
as
you
have,
you
know,
work
and
reconstruction
going
on.
But
that
would
be
part
of
the
discussion,
certainly
and
in
the
resilient
Toronto
report.
A
M
Concerts
has
been
extremely
supportive,
in
fact,
in
the
last
rumor
council
he
put
forward
a
motion.
Looking
at
this,
I
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
to
meet
with
the
mayor
as
yet,
but
of
course,
I
met
with
you
this
the
response,
you
know,
or
should
I
say
from
staff
that
I
have
met
across
the
city,
both
in
terms
of
green
of
course,
there's
different
stuff
in
different
departments.
M
You
know
it's
a
question
of
what
are
we
going
to
do?
Are
we
going
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
money-saving
opportunities
like
this
to
be
able
to
save
money
to
for
the
city,
both
in
terms
of
long
and
short
term
reconstruction
costs
save
in
terms
of
upkeep,
for
example,
and
make
you
know
our
streets
both
more
pleasant
as
well
as
cost
less?
Okay,.
G
A
Well,
I'll
speak
because
I
have
a
motion,
so
we've
we've
sort
of
simplified
it
from
the
original
motion
that
was
circulated
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
and
what
we
want
to
do
is
we
want
to
get
a
report
back
from
staff
on
how
this
how
this
can
possibly
work
and
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
here
and
I've
seen
I've
seen
some
of
the
preliminary
designs
I
thought
it's
a
well
thought
out
concept,
as
I
mentioned
in
my
questions
to
the
tap
you
tent
there's
a
lot
of
infrastructure
going
along
the
same
route.
A
A
Infrastructure
is
is
really
key
and
of
course,
stormwater
stormwater
and
management
and
the
in
our
resiliency-
and
it's
also
nice
to
see
that
there's
something
going
along
the
within
the
inner
suburbs,
which
is
often
left
out
of
many
of
the
different
creative
ideas
that
are
that
are
happening
across
the
city.
So
I
will
move
this
motion
and
we
will
stay
on
top
of
it.
We
look
forward
to
this
report
back
and,
and
we
will
stay
in
touch,
and
we
thank
you
very
much
for
for
talking
coming
today
and
talking
about
this
important
issue.
