This slide was shown as part of WEST 8 + DTAH's presentation. Here the east bound lanes of Queen's Quay would be replaced by a 4 m Martin Goodman Trail and and a sidewalk which is widened to 6.6 m. (Click the image to download the full presentation. The above image is on page 33.)

Presentation from WEST 8 + DTAH (pdf)
These include reports on the statistics and reactions to the Quay to the City Event this past summer where a temporary Martin Goodman Trail was created in the eastbound lanes of Queens Quay. It also shows a cross section of what the new Queen's Quay would look like as pictured above. One of the interesting stats reported in Tammy's articles was the phenomenal increase in the number of cyclists. One statistic that the number of "Westbound bicycles increased from 10 to 661 in the PM peak." More data can be found in the report on the Quay to the City event. Quay to the City Summary Report - October 2006. That increase in cyclists makes one wonder if a 4.0 metre wide trail will be able to accommodate the numbers of users once the design is permanent. A 5.5 m width is being used in the Marilyn Bell Park section of the Martin Goodman trail and that is a twinned trail. The recently completed Exhibition section has a 4.5 metre width. The trail in the central waterfront trail should be at least 5 m wide to accomodate the traffic especially given the traffic alongside the trail with the pedestrian promenades and streetcar waiting areas.

The next phase of the project is to do a traffic feasibility study early in 2007 to come up with some feasible design options to be followed by an environmental assessment screening where the options will be analyzed further. There will be more community meetings during the year but there is still time to comment on the latest presentation and add your support for a wide, continuous Martin Goodman Trail for cyclists and other trail users through the Central Waterfront. There was a workbook handed out at the meeting with questions to be answered. Central Waterfront Trail Workbook. You can e-mail your comments and answers to the questions in that to central(a)towaterfront.ca"( replace (a) with @ in e-mail program). However, you have to get your comments in by February 6th, 2007.
