Road usage on Jane Street is reaching peak levels and is only set to increase as our communities grow. Right now, the TTC is proposing changes to Jane Street that I believe will make transportation harder for transit and all other users of the road.
The proposed changes include a reduction of current traffic lanes and the creation of a priority bus lane.
I am calling on all users of the road to demand decent transit options that benefit the entire community. We must invest in thoughtful, long-term solutions that can accommodate the volume of traffic we anticipate. Jane Street is an artery of the City.
Residents and users of Jane Street deserve a street that will allow transit to be fast, reliable and comfortable. As well drivers deserve a Jane Street that allows two full traffic lanes in either direction and cyclists and pedestrians deserve a Jane Street that has bike lanes and sidewalks in safe location off the road.
