On the agenda
As the city filed it
More than half the residents of Ward 11 do not have private motor vehicles and depend on active transportation and public transit. This includes a high concentration of seniors. The Ward Councillor has worked with the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to increase the number of benches at subway stations in the Ward and other locations. However, there remains a serious lack of seating along streetscapes in Ward 11, including in areas where local businesses wish to encourage increased pedestrian traffic.
