The Toronto Waterfront Revitilization Corporation will be hosting a public meeting on its plans for Toronto's Central Waterfront on Tuesday, January 23rd. from 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm. This will include information on the plans to redesign Queen's Quay from Bathurst to Parliament. Torontonians got a taste of those plans this past summer when the east bound lanes of Queen's Quay were closed off between Spadina and York Street to make way for the extension of the Martin Goodman Trail. As well a two way separated trail was created from York to Richardson in one lane of the east bound Queen's Quay. You can read more about this in a previous article Queen's Quay Martin Goodman Trail open to cyclists. The meeting will also have information on an environmental assessment on extending streetcar lines east on Queen's Quay to Parliament Street. You can see more about this project here Toronto Waterfront East Bayfront Transit Environmental Assessment.

The meeting details are quoted below from the TWRC announcement:

Queen's Quay is a street that has a lot of use by cyclists. It is the connection between the eastern and western sections of the Martin Goodman Trail. These plans have the potential to make this a much better link in Toronto's Bikeway Network. This meeting will be an opportunity to see how planning for this has progressed and also to have input to ensure that the projects continues to ensure that cycling is supported as one of the main transportation modes through this area.
