Easy Riding – Low-Stress Bike Lanes for Toronto

Last week the City of Toronto released the 2010 Pedestrian and Cyclist Collision Data. The data showed that Toronto had the most per-capita recorded car-on-bike collisions of any major Canadian city. This is unacceptable, which is why we are pushing the City of Toronto to catch up to other major Canadian cities by installing protected (or separated) bike lanes to significantly increase the safety of cyclists.

Please accept this invitation to the Rouge Park Trails Master Plan Public Meeting #3 on June 14, 2011. We ask that you also pass the invitation on to others in your networks who may be interested in the Trails Master Plan. 

Hope to see you there, 

Rouge Park Staff and Project Consultants
