TRANSITWAY DIVERSION TO ALBERT STREET
HOW YOU CAN HELP. PLEASE EMAIL TODAY AND
ATTEND MONDAYS MEETING
On December 9, the Citys Transit Commission will hear a plan for bus detours during light railconstruction. This is a critical meeting. The detour plan will divert nearly 300 buses per hour at peak and
well over 2000 per day to Albert and Scott Streets, directly in front of peoples homes. This will make
Albert and Scott a disaster for local users, especially pedestrians and cyclists, for two years.
The plan was devised two years ago behind closed doors with no community input, and only last week revealed.
The diversion of many of these buses will continue for 10 more yearsthe latest available information is that it
will be several per minute once construction of light rail from 2015-2018 is over.
The plan takes no account of the quality of life issues that arise from noise, air pollution, community-wide traffic
congestion, or pedestrian/cyclist safety. Your views on this issue are critical. It is extremely important thatmembers of the Transit Commission hear you. We are asking you to write to them, and to copy us. Well make
anonymous use of your comments in our campaign to stop this unacceptable and undemocratic plan.
Tell them what you think about:
The noise impact of hundreds of braking and accelerating buses per hour in extremely close proximity topeoples homes
The impact to cyclists, pedestrians and drivers crossing or using Albert and Scott Streets The effects of air pollution on our neighbourhood and health
There ARE alternatives that the city REFUSES to consider
including using the Queensway and Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway.
