The York Quay Neighbourhood Association (YQNA) is hosting a public meeting on traffic on the central waterfront. This is an important area for cyclists as the Queens Quay Bike Lanes are an important link between the eastern and western sections of the Martin Goodman trail. The Toronto Cycling Committee has recently asked the City of Toronto to support continuing the bike lanes on Queens Quay from Spadina to Yonge as part of the plan for the central waterfront. There have also been discussions regarding continuing the Martin Goodman Trail through the central waterfront.

Billed as 'Traffic Alert' the meeting will focus on managing pedestrians, cars, buses and bikes on the waterfront. The details of the meeting are quoted below.

This would be a good opportunity to see what the plans for the waterfront are and making the case that the routes for cyclists have to be preserved and improved.
