Cabbagetown Cycling Connections

The following proposed plan options for infrastructural actions are expected to improve overall neighborhood road safety. By prioritizing pedestrian walking experience, reducing local traffic infiltration, and expanding local cycling networks, we are anticipating massive improvements for future commute experiences.

Expanded Cycling networks:

The proposed connections would expand the local cycling network, connecting to Wellesley Street Bike lanes, Winchester Park, Riverdale Park West Trail, River Street, the future Wellesley Park Switchback and Gerrard Street bi-directional. 

This project is part of the City of Toronto’s commitment to the Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, the TransformTO Action Plan and other Council-approved polices and plans. There are existing neighbourhood concerns around road safety, climate impact, and mobility. This project aims to address these local concerns by making changes that align with City policies.

In coordination with the Cabbagetown Cycling Connections, Gerrard Street East, between Parliament Street and Sumach Street, is recommended to have a bi-directional cycle track installed on the south side in the existing curb lane. This work would be timed with the installation of the Gerrard East Complete Street project between Sherbourne Street and Parliament Street in 2024-2025.
