Meeting Notice

OPEN HOUSE
Proposed Bicycle Facilities in Ward 21

Date: Wednesday May 2, 2007
Place: Rakoczi House – 747 St. Clair Avenue West

Councillor Joe Mihevc and Toronto Transportation staff invite you to attend a Public Open House to review and provide comments on the proposed bicycle facilities in Ward 21. The attached ward map (see reverse) shows the existing and proposed bicycle facilities in Ward 21 and how they would connect to the surrounding Bikeway Network. The key routes include:

· a signed route on Vaughan Road
· an east-west signed route that connects to the proposed Rogers Rd. bike lanes
· an east-west signed route parallel to St. Clair Avenue
· a north-south route on Christie Street with bike lanes

Bike Lane Proposal on Christie Street – St. Clair Avenue W to Dupont Street:

From St. Clair Avenue West to Davenport Road, bicycle lanes can be added to Christie Street with minimal impact on traffic or parking. The most significant change associated with the bicycle lane proposal will be a reduction in traffic lanes from two to one in each direction for the section of Christie Street south of Davenport Road. Parking for this section will also be limited to one side of the street. Stopping will be prohibited on the west side of the street, and parking permitted at all times on the east side.
