Cycle Toronto has been advocating for safe space for active transportation as part of the COVID-19 response and recovery for nearly two months. In our open letter to the Office of Recovery and Rebuild, Cycle Toronto proposed three general guidelines around which to focus an active transportation strategy in the short-term so as to build Toronto’s resiliency in the long-term:
Sign the petition to Keep ActiveTO before City Council decides its fate at the end of 2021!
ActiveTO to rebalance Toronto’s streets and create more space for people biking

Over 250 people came out on a snowy night at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) for the City’s Public Consultation Event for the West Toronto Railpath (WTR) extension. City representatives from Transportation Services, and Parks, Forestry & Recreation were in attendance along with a spokesperson from Metrolinx as part of a presentation with Q&A. Councillor Gord Perks also took part, and Deputy Mayor Ana Bailão closed out the presentation describing the existing WTR as “a gem in the city.”
