Re: IE15.11: Request to get Bike Lanes in Midtown along Yonge Street

Dear Mayor Tory:

We wrote in July (letter attached to the this email) when COVID-19 was fairly quiet. Now we write in September, as the disease is returning ever faster, and the City of Toronto needs to continue to ensure the safety of its citizens. We are very pleased at how the ActiveTO initiative has worked, as part of it was implemented on Duplex Avenue in Midtown; the street was truly shared by pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicles, and brought some calming and sanity to an otherwise vehicle-heavy street in a residential neighbourhood.

Eglinton Park Residents’ Association, by way of this letter, reaffirms its support for a bikeway along Yonge Street in Midtown.

Sincerely

Carla Lutchman Vice-Chair, EPRA
