The City of Toronto will be undertaking a full Environmental Assessment over the "underground LRT" section of Eglinton, from Black Creek Dr to Brentcliffe Rd (near Leslie). This project will include a discussion of bike lanes along the corridor.
This means that we can advocate for greatly improved cycling infrastructure along a corridor that spans more than half the width of the city - 13 wards, 25km, half a million residents and countless schools, businesses and workplaces.

We have four projects we will be discussing. They are the following.
1. Safe Routes to School. Trustee Gough has asked us to give talks to Parent Committees in Ward 6. The first is April 18. We need to prepare our presentation.
- we have been successful in getting bike racks installed at John English school. More are being installed because of the demand this created. We are able to build on this success.
Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto are working on a business and implementation plan for the Port Lands Acceleration Initiative, and want the public to be part of the process.
Given the amount of information and its complexity, this round of consultation will be a two-step process. Key findings and preliminary options will be presented at an open house drop-in session on March 31, and then public input and comments will be sought at two identical workshop meetings on April 3 and 4.
