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 TTC to increase the number of benches at subway stations in the Ward and other locations. However, there is a serious lack of seating where people await streetcar service in Ward 11.
