Summary
City Council on July 7, 8 and 9, 2015, referred Item TE7.121, headed "Support for East-West Cycling Connections East of Sherbourne", to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee for information.
Ensuring the growing cycling community has access to safe infrastructure must be a top priority for the City of Toronto. The cycle track pilot projects on Adelaide and Richmond have proven to be a success, and are now a well-used piece of cycling infrastructure with no negative impacts on congestion.
Expanding cycling infrastructure east of Sherbourne is an important step as our city continues to invest in improving conditions for cyclists sharing the roads.
