The City of Toronto is hosting a public meeting about planned upgrades and improvements to the Kay Gardner Beltline trail. This initial public meeting is being held at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, September 10 at the Northern District Library (40 Orchard View Boulevard one block north of Eglinton Ave, one block west of Yonge St.). Part of the Beltline runs through Ward 29 beside the Brick Works and the entire trail is part of important commuting and recreational routes. This is your opportunity to help guide the future of one of Toronto’s best cycling trails.
Ward 29 Bikes and our friends from 32 Spokes are offering free basic bike tune-ups and maintenance tips at the Withrow Park Farmers’ Market Harvest Festival this Saturday, September 8th, from 10 am to 1 pm. Bring your bike for a tune-up! Celebrate fresh local food and help us support the market’s Fresh Food Drive (PDF) with a donation, which will go to the Eastview Neighbourhood Community Centre food bank.
Our next regular organizing meeting is on Wednesday, September 12 at Timothy’s coffee shop in Carrot Common. We get started at 6 p.m. and usually wind up business before 8 p.m. Our agenda will include upcoming events for this autumn, new community outreach initiatives, and a recap of our summer activities. Please join us for the evening if you’d like to help lead the cycling community in Ward 29. Contact us if you need more information.
