The Laneway Projects organization is asking you to identify some laneways in Ward 13 that needs love!
The Laneway Project Returns in 2024
Since 2014, The Laneway Project group has been dedicated to revitalizations, activations and event programming specifically for laneways. After two years of dormancy, the group is back to activate laneways, and they are starting with Ward 13’s laneway revitalization initiative!
Toronto Centre has lots of laneways that are actively used by community members, cyclists, and motorists. These laneways create a network of mid-block connections, offering important routes alternative to main roads. However, these laneways are not very welcoming.
Currently, Ward 13 laneways need the community to submit ideas on how these spaces can be activated to become vibrant, safe, walkable, beautiful, and most importantly, attractive for pedestrians to use.
If you have ideas for how you would like to activate a laneway near you, please submit your idea here and use the map function to select the laneway of your choice. Please provide as much detail as possible! Idea collection will run until September 30, 2024.
We have come a long way since the summer of 2023 when Allan Gardens was the largest encampment in the city.
I'm proud to once again be coming back to our community for this year's Neighbourhood Town Hall series!
Over the course of the summer we have seen encampments pop up in parks across Toronto Centre. I wanted to provide an update in response to the concerns I have heard and the questions about what can be done to make our parks accessible to everyone.
