Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
The month of October has a few cycling related public consultations, as well as those for the 2026 budget. Supporters of the Danforth-Kingston 4 All campaign would be pleased with the Phase 2 consultations for Kingston Road (spurred in part by last month's ride), while Sloane Avenue and Keele Street will also be looked at. Let’s dive in!

Since the Toronto Community Bikeways Coalition was formed last May, one of their primary asks has been to put in a bikeway along Weston Road and Keele Street from Cardell Avenue to Bloor Street. However, Keele continues onto Parkside Drive from Bloor to Lake Shore Boulevard which is a fast moving arterial and unpleaseant for those who walk or bike. Earlier this month, the Sunnyside Community Association held a Zoom meeting in which many of the more than 40 people in attendance were supportive of safety improvements on Parkside including bike lanes. A separate Facebook group called “Safe Parkside” was also organized around this issue.
