ActiveTO launched in 2020 as a pandemic response to encourage residents to get outside and cycle, walk, and roll for recreation, exercise, and travel. The program included temporary bike lanes such as on Huntingwood Drive, Bloor Street East, and Danforth Avenue; major road openings, such as on LakeShore Boulevard and Bayview Avenue; and Quiet Streets across the city. This session discusses how we build on the successes of the program and highlights how we can advocate to make the bike lanes permanent.
Speakers:
- Christopher McGarrell, founder of ManDem Cycling Club
- Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, City Councillor for Ward 13 Toronto-Centre
- Jason Chau, Scarborough resident and advocate
