On Wednesday, January 9th the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee will be reviewing the recommendations made by the Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee regarding the bollards on the Martin Goodman Trail where it meets the Boulevard Club.

The Committee requested the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee to request the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to report on:

1. the removal of the second row of bollards and review alternative bollard configuration on the Martin Goodman Trail at the Boulevard Club;
2. possible traffic flow improvements in and around the entrance to the Boulevard Club, including the feasibility of restricting left turn in and left turn out to/from the Boulevard Club to Lakeshore Boulevard West; and
3. the development of a policy and standards regarding the installation of bollards in the City of Toronto.

As part of the revitalization of Toronto’s central waterfront, Waterfront Toronto in partnership with the City of Toronto, is undertaking an environmental assessment study of Queens Quay between Lower Spadina Avenue and Lower Jarvis Street. This study is exploring how to implement long standing City policy objectives including revitalizing Queens Quay into a scenic waterfront drive and completing the Martin Goodman Trail which today is absent through the central waterfront.

The first public forum will introduce existing site conditions, the problem statement, explore potential planning solutions and provide a recommended planning solution which will be the basis of design alternatives to be studied in more detail in the next phase of the environmental assessment.

If you are interested in receiving more information on the study, please contact Andrea Kelemen at [email protected] or 416-214-1344 extension 248.
