“This is an exciting and critical study to define what the City will build to upgrade and expand the Toronto cycling network”, said Norma Moores, IBI Group project manager. “We will be working in association with Velo Quebec, and involving staff from the Hamilton and Toronto offices in fieldwork, GIS mapping, and analysis.”

The project includes public and stakeholder outreach, and the use of MetroQuest for on-line commenting. The study was initiated in December 2014 and will be completed in June 2015 to meet fall budgeting timelines.
