Updated graphic and note from Joe’s office:
Visuals from Metrolinx of the proposed new Strachan Overpass.
As I believe in keeping the community informed, I am pleased to forward the rendering developed by Metrolinx of the rail grade separation at Strachan Avenue. This rendering was presented last night at Metrolinx’s Open House in Weston.
You will recall that we all have argued for an urban friendly solution and, I think that you will agree, this latest design considers the needs of pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles, and transit by largely abandoning the roller coaster effect of the previous design. Metrolinx has developed a good solution rooted in the City of Toronto’s and the community’s position.
This rendering will be at Metrolinx’s second Open House in the community on June 16th, 2009 at Historic Fort York between 3:00 and 8:00 pm. At that time, this acceptable solution will be formally presented to the community and comment cards will be available. Thank you once again for your participation and for caring about our neighbourhood!
Sincerely,
Joe Pantalone
Deputy Mayor
City of Toronto
