The City of Toronto launched a discussion document called “Steps Towards a Walkable City,” without much fanfare, at the beginning of October, in conjunction with the Walk21 conference. It’s part of the development of Toronto’s Walking Strategy, and is intended to encourage public discussion.
The city will be holding the first public consultation around this document on November 8. Anyone who is interested in walking issues in Toronto is encouraged to download and read the document, and come to the consultation meeting to discuss it.
Here’s the official announcement:
