Toronto’s First Protected Intersection Serves as a Blueprint for a Safer, Greener Future

The project is often referred to as the ‘York University Cycling Connections’ project because the key intersections are found on Murray Ross Parkway between the Finch West Station and the YorkU campus. Construction included a kilometre of separated bikeways and multi-use trails — as well as major improvements to two signalized intersections, Murray Ross Parkway at Evelyn Wiggins Drive and at Keele Street. The project was part of a vision to grow and connect the cycling network between York University, the Finch West Hydro Corridor Trail, and Finch West TTC station. The project included the City’s first bioswale and green gutter, but also the City’s first protected intersection. <a href="https://blog.altaplanning.com/torontos-first-protected-intersection-serves-as-a-blueprint-for-a-safer-greener-future-4bfd72307b59">Read More</a>
