Join City Transportation staff for an equity and accessibility-based walk down the recently completed Kipling Avenue corridor and Multi-Use Trail.

You'll learn about the history of the area and the socio-economic factors that influenced the corridor re-design including an overview of the City's Cycling Network Plan and prioritization framework.

Then we’ll explore the multi-modal accessibility and safety features that were implemented.

You'll learn about the design of active (pedestrian and cycling) and motor vehicle transportation infrastructure including bikeways and trails, traffic & bike signals, roadways and public transit infrastructure.

We'll even show you the inside of a traffic signal controller cabinet.

Bring all your questions.
