There are two events taking place in the Parkdale\/High Park area next week about improving walking and cycling access in the west end.<\/p>\n

Ride the South Kingsway Cloverleaf <\/strong><\/p>\n

The city, under pressure from some local residents, has backed off making significant improvements to the highway-style cloverleaf junction of the Queensway and South Kingsway. Other local residents, especially those living in new buildings directly south of the junction, are fighting to restore the original plan to transform this intersection into something that is truly urban, and friendly to walking, cycling and transit.<\/p>\n

To raise awareness of this issue, cyclists have organized a ride around this cloverleaf:<\/p>\n

WHO<\/strong>: Toronto Urban Renewal Network
\nWHEN<\/strong>: Tuesday, May 27 at 7:30am
\nWHERE<\/strong>: High Park Gates (or #8 South Kingsway at 8:00am)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Etobicoke York community council will also be considering this issue on June 10 (update – it may in fact be July 7, but you can still send in a deputation now – check the website below for details<\/em>), and people are encouraged to write in or make a deputation in favour of reverting to the original plan to improve this intersection.<\/p>\n

For more information, see the Toronto Urban Renewal Network<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

Jameson Pedestrian Bridge Closing<\/strong><\/p>\n

The City has closed the pedestrian bridge from Jameson Avenue to the waterfront for much of the summer, for repairs. This means Parkdale residents will have to walk an extra kilometre west to Roncesvalles or east to the CNE if they want to get to the waterfront. Local residents are calling for a temporary alternative to be provided, and also a more systematic and better-quality approach to improving access to the waterfront in the area.<\/p>\n

WHEN<\/strong>: Monday May 26 at 7pm
\nWHERE<\/strong>: Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre, 1499 Queen
\nWHO<\/strong>: With Gord Perks, Cheri DiNovo MPP, Peggy Nash MP<\/p>\n
