Metrolinx is currently conducting consultations on the Union Station - Pearsonrail link and the Georgetown GO line extension. This project while focussing on rail could have an impact on the Bikeway Network. Cyclists should get involved to make sure the project will incorporate designs that will enhance the bikeway network, include cycling facilities and allow cyclists to use the new rail services. There are public meetings between Feb 5th to 12th and there is an online consultation as well. You can see all of the details here. Metrolinx Consultation.

Some of the areas of interest for cyclists are the plans for a grade separation at Strachan avenue which has a bike lane, the impact of this project on plans for the west toronto rail path from Dundas to Strachan and the potential for completing the Humber trail below where the rail bridge crosses the Humber river. Other issues would be access and parking for cyclists at all stations. Martin Koob
