Making Leslie St. Safer for Cyclists and Pedestrians

Leslie and EasternOn Saturday, Nov. 20th, a group of people in South Riverdale got together to have a look at the safety features (or lack thereof) for pedestrians and cyclists on the stretch of Leslie Street between Lake Shore Boulevard and Queen St. The street will be reconstructed when the TTC builds their new streetcar car barns on the South East corner of Leslie and Lakeshore – as tracks will run up Leslie to Queen.

Embedded here are the notes from the Leslie Safety Tour, from Paul Young of the South Riverdale Community Health Centre.

What do you think?  Is Leslie a good street to be a north-south connector for cyclists and pedestrians?

  1. Thanks for publishing this Joe.

    I recently published my take on this issue at Michael Holloway’s BikingToronto Blog: Lake Shore and Leslie Redevelopment: wide, freeway-like streets, lots of parking – and No Bike Lanes!!
