Walk Toronto has written to Toronto East York Community Council to support a pilot project to test wider sidewalks on Avenue Road. Walk Toronto is a member of the Avenue Road Safety Coalition (ARSC), which has been working to make this street safer for pedestrians through wider sidewalks and slower speeds. Councillors Layton and Matlow have introduced a motion at the Oct. 15 meeting of the TEYCC to push for such a pilot project.
The letter was written by Walk Toronto steering committee member Dylan Reid, who lived on Avenue Road for several years in the past. He also made a verbal deputation about the issue to TEYCC at its (online) meeting.
