AN UPDATE ON PHASE ONE

In their report to NYCC, Transportation Services outlined the work undertaken to date and included a consultation timeline for Phase One. In Q1 2023, City staff will present a near-term proposal for community feedback, with a report due back to NYCC the following quarter on the recommended Phase One measures. Please keep an eye on your mailbox for a Public Notice with more information on Phase One of the Leaside Neighbourhood Transportation Plan, including a public meeting date. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, I would highly encourage you to attend the public meeting or contact the project team at LeasideNTP@ toronto.ca . For more information on the Leaside Neighbourhood Transportation plan, visit www. toronto.ca/LeasideNTP.

I am looking forward to moving ahead with much needed road safety improvements in Leaside. n
