Cycling in the Neighbourhood

The IRRA is working hard with the City of Toronto and other interested groups to make cycling in our neighbourhood safe and enjoyable

Cycling is one of the fastest growing transportation modes in Toronto. Making cycling safer and more inviting will help to ease congestion on streets and transit, create a cleaner environment and result in a more vibrant community.

Local studies have shown that people that walked or cycled made more visits to local businesses, and spent more money there than those that drove or took transit.

Bloor Street West Complete Streets Initiative

In 2022 the City of Toronto launched the Bloor Street West Complete Street Extension Project. Stretching from Runnymede to Resurrection Rd [Six Points} its goal is to :

Improve safety for people walking, cycling or driving
Enhance the walking and cycling experience
Support the qualities that make Bloor St. West a great place to live, work and play
Maintain roadway uses such as for transit, emergency
services, deliveries, shopping and commuting

Toronto's Cycle Network Plan

The Cycling Network Plan adopted by City Council seeks to build on the existing network of cycling routes to connect gaps in the current network, grow the network into new parts of the city, and renew existing parts of the network to improve safety – with corresponding objectives and indicators for measuring and evaluating success.
