 Esplanade-Mill Consultation Deadline - March 14 **REMINDER - the deadline for submitting your feedback on the proposed changes to The Esplanade and Mill St. is March 14. See below for information about this initiative From the City of Toronto: Today, walking, cycling and transit make up nearly three-quarters of the trips in the St. Lawrence and Distillery District neighbourhood, yet there have been more than 340 collisions on this corridor in the last five years, 10 per cent involving people walking or cycling, and one per cent leading to serious injury or death. The Esplanade is also being used as a bypass to Front Street and Lower Jarvis Street. This non-local traffic leads to congestion, pollution and noise, and delays to TTC service. In addition, one of the project objectives is to complete installation of any improvements prior to construction impacts related to the nearby bridges that cross the Metrolinx Rail Corridor (Lake Shore East line) as part of the Union Station Rail Corridor East expansion project. This project will close Lower Sherbourne Street cycle tracks and the Lower Don Trail access to the waterfront starting in 2022. The Lower Don Trail access to the waterfront will also be interrupted due to Waterfront Toronto work starting between 2022 and 2023. To learn more about the context and considerations that shaped this project review the consultation material: Download a copy of the presentation . Watch the short project video (seven minutes) or the long project video (24 minutes). Fill out the short feedback form (five minutes to complete) by Sunday, March 14, 2021.
