I don't watch council and committee meetings that often, but I did tune in today since they were discussing the Mobility Master Plan...
Councillors voted today (as a committee) to approve the Mobility Master Plan maps, which I reposted below, with some amendments:
- widen Wonderland to six car lanes (instead of rapid transit)
- start discussion w/ province and neighbouring county for ring road around London
- remove proposed cycling infrastructure on some small neighbourhood streets
- remove proposed cycling infrastructure on Huron Street
- remove proposed Gainsborough to Windermere pedestrian/cycling bridge (sorry Molson
)
- move ahead with Bradley Avenue widening (Wellington to Highbury) sooner; from long term (2045 to 2050) to near term (now to 2035)
Very very disappointed with some of these amendments, for reasons stated in earlier posts, but removing the Huron bike lanes makes zero sense... there is plenty of space in the boulevard for much of it, and Huron is an arterial road that connects schools, retail, new infill, apartment buildings (etc) to several major arterials, and the TVP itself.
Since council only met today as a committee, this still needs to be approved again at the Council meeting next week on April 1st. Some of the amendments were very close votes so a councillor could change their vote on some of them.
