   Streets designed for living? Where all users are not just considered but required in the design and redesign of our streets? That’s what we’re calling for with the Complete Streets Campaign!

   Date: Monday, November 23

   Time: 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

   Location: Metro Hall (room TBA)

   In the United States, complete streets policies ensure that street designs consider all users – pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and motorists – so that our streets are livable and safe for everyone. Cities and states throughout the United States have adopted these policies, and we think Toronto should lead the way here in Canada.

   Interested in learning more and joining the campaign? Come to our public meeting on Monday, November 23. We’ll be giving a presentation on complete streets policies and developing a strategy to reach out to other organizations. We’re also working on a complete streets brochure for Toronto’s mayoral candidates, so if you want to find out what the candidates say about your place on the streets, this project is for you!

   If you would like to help out with this initiative, please send an email to Allyson Amster to be added to our contact list.

   Complete Streets was okayed here in Lansing, MI, U.S.A. But, a caution here. Once you get it passed, don't let the street planners back off and change their minds because motorists complain, and they will.
   We had a local street switched to three lanes from 4 and bike lanes put in on each side of the street. This is a street (I cycle on a regular basis since the nearest stores are on that street. I had some, very few, nasty comments from motorists during the "before" period.) Well, the local motorists complained that it was slowing them down too much at the inter-sections. (4 seconds longer, max, is too long for anyone to wait to make a turn!) So, the road people came back out and returned the road to 4 lanes. Now, I get constant crap from motorists on the road. You see, when they complained to the city, and got the road changed back, this was a major win for motorists and told them that "Yes, cars do own the road after all, and other users have to take second place". Bad, bad, message to give to motorists who already think that no one else has a right to use the road except them. So, be forewarned and don't let the road planners back off once they put bike lanes in, please.
