On March 25th, 2009 Waterfront Toronto www.waterfrontoronto.ca will be presenting the recommended road alternative for Queen's Quay. This is part of the Queen's Quay Revitalization Project that would see the traffic lanes realigned that would see among other things a continuous Martin Goodman Trail through Toronto's downtown waterfront which would link up to the western and eastern sections of this trail. Torontonians got a taste of this during the Quay to the City event in August 2006.

At the last public meeting on the subject on December 10 2008, three preferred options were presented for comment. Two of those had a continuous Martin Goodman Trail on the south side of the streetcar tracks as was demonstrated in the Quay to the City event. See previous Article. This week we will see which design has been chosen and whether Toronto residents will finally see this important link in the Bikeway Network take one more step closer to realization.

The public meeting will be held on Wednesday March 25, 2009 at the Westin Harbour Castle hotel. There will be an Open House at 6:30 pm and a Public Presentation from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. There will also be a Drop-In Centre on Saturday March 29, 2009 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Harbourfront Centre.
