Origin
Summary
The Ten Year Cycling Network Plan, adopted by Council in June, 2016 identified the need for cycling facilities in the Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park neighbourhoods. Both communities are designated as Neighbourhood Improvement Areas under the Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020.
The purpose of this report is to seek Council authority to install the following cycling infrastructure:
- Thorncliffe Park Drive (bicycle lanes)
- Gateway Boulevard (bicycle lanes and short section of parking-protected cycle track)
- Grenoble Drive (bicycle lanes)
- Deauville Lane (bicycle lanes)
The changes proposed will improve safety and mobility options for residents, including children and youth, by providing cycling connections to the schools, daycares, library, mosques, churches, and businesses in Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park.
Subject to Council approval, Transportation Services proposes to install the above cycling facilities in 2018, as a project 50 percent funded by the Federal Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) program.
