Collecting one BIG post and ring bike parking request
4 Dec 2011 - 15:00 herb

Help us make a big post and ring bike parking request! In Ward 19 we had talked about collecting information on areas that really need more bike parking. The City's post and ring system needs some pushing: not enough are being installed and when sidewalks are being rebuilt it's taking too long to replace the bike parking. It's not just a problem for staff, but a political problem. We need to let councillors know that this is an issue. So towards that goal, we've created a "watch area" on SeeClickFix.com, a website that helps engage citizens in fixing local issues:

http://www.seeclickfix.com/issues?watcher_token=707e22bded32dc596fdc765172f135ce2adca4c9

This watch area is for tracking the post and ring / bike parking requests in Toronto. Please make new requests and vote on listed ones. Also let others know where they can submit there requests.

We will keep our councillors aware of these ongoing issue and send the data to City Staff so they can start working on this.

Thanks!

First Ward Meeting for West End - 18, 19, 20
2 Dec 2010 - 10:32 herb

We getting local advocacy ramped up for next year! We will have our inaugural meeting for Wards 18, 19 and 20 at the Linux Caffe on Monday December 6, 7pm. The Linux Caffe is at the corner of Harbord and Grace.

At the meeting, we'll share summaries of the discussions at the Ward Advocacy Program re-launch event, including the maps we worked on. We will start off with all three wards together, since it's not clear yet how many people will show up. If it looks like each ward will have a vibrant local discussion then we can decide to break up into each ward.

A rough suggested agenda:

  • decide on facilitator (and maybe ward captains if ready)
  • learning from WAP 
  • strategy for local engagement 
  • local groups and figures to approach - residents associations, BIAs, councillors 
  • share discussion from maps 
  • decide priorities by ward for coming year 

Note that whoever shows up gets to decide the direction of the advocacy. So please come out if you are eager to lend your voice!
