Scarborough Needs a Cycling Network

📝Sign the petition to Connect Scarborough: https://www.CycleTO.ca/Scarborough

Next week, Toronto City Council will vote on a citywide cycling network plan for the next three years. Thanks in part to advocacy efforts, there are several key routes proposed for Scarborough, but we all know it takes sustained effort to turn plans into action.

This documentary is the first in our Scarborough Voices series that will show how people in Scarborough feel about cycling there. It’s important that as many people see these videos as possible, including our elected officials, so watch and share widely.

And we need you to support the people we showcased in Scarborough Needs a Cycling Network by signing and sharing the petition from our Connect Scarborough campaign.

More Scarborough Voices are coming soon!
