At the last Progress meeting unanimous and enthusiastic endorsement was given to channel extreme effort in progressing pedestrian options around the Point.
The lack of facilities to safely navigate on foot or bike around our community was passionately discussed at the May meeting within the context of how could we locally support walk safely to school day. It raised the issue of how can we walk safely anywhere.
This has been an ongoing concern of the Association for several decades and an attempt to get some advice, outcomes and actions is once again being attempted.
This time we are calling on all interested parties to get together to discuss the issue and formulate a strategy for an effective campaign to Council.
A special meeting 6-7pm on Monday 7th June will be held at Progress Hall to bring together a group of people passionate about uniting the community with a common path.
This fact finding session will cover issues raised from the floor as well as where are the safety ‘hotspots’, what and where are all of the pedestrian options possible, where are the priority areas and how can we make it happen?
This campaign will have a beginning and it will follow a path, let’s hope it will also lead to tangible outcomes. If you have any suggestions about how to make it happen, ideas to excite and inspire, spare time to give or informative information please come along and contribute to making our community a safer and more connected one.
If you can’t make it send an email coalpointprogress@gmail.com or a letter PO Box 329, Toronto and get your thoughts recorded.
Soup and a cuppa will be available from 5.45pm for a prompt start at 6pm
