The City of Toronto will be getting its first New Mobility Hub that will feature facilities for cyclists including an installation of the city's new bike lockers and one of the Community Bicycle Network's Bike Share Hub. The New Mobility Hub is a project of Moving the Economy www.movingtheeconomy.ca, an organization whose mission is to spur the growth of sustainable transportation. One of the initiatives that they are undertaking towards that goal is to build New Mobility Hubs around the City that will connect together various modes of sustainable transportation: cycling, walking and transit. The first New Mobility Hub is being installed at Exhibition Place. The launch of this new facility will occur on April 25th, 2006 between 8:30 am and 10:00 am.

This graphic from the Mobility Hub web site shows the integration of the various sustainable transportation modes at the Exhibition/Liberty New Mobility Hub. (click on the image to go to the site.)

The Exhibition/Liberty Hub will be next to the Exhibition stops of GO Transit's Lakeshore line and the TTC's 511 Bathurst and 509 Harbourfront streetcar routes. It is also near the Martin Goodman Trail and 2 blocks away from the Dufferin bus route that has bike racks on the busses.

Details of the launch are in an announcement from Moving the Economy quoted below.
