Cycling is an important feature of the Big Move. According to the plan, after the Big Move, 60% of children will walk or bike to school & 1 in 5 trips will be taken by walking or cycling across the region.

Meeting to remove funding for the Sherway Trail Project, effectively killing it.

Sherway Trail project

The purpose of this next meeting is to remove funding from the Sherway Trail project, effectively killing it for the foreseeable future.

This project is a key multi-use trail linkage underneath the QEW, connecting the Etobicoke Valley Trail to the south with Sherway Drive to the north.

Construction was expected to begin 3 years ago, but the MTO has still not granted permission to or even entered into meaningful discussion about allowing the trail to cross its land (beneath and adjacent to the QEW).

Come out and make your voice heard for the trail!
