LCC Plan for Lakeshore Road through Port Credit
July 2022 - A Virtual Town Hall meeting was held on June 30, co-hosted by the Port Credit BIA and Ward 1 Councillor Dasko, in response to the City's latest proposal (image) to implement the Lakeshore Connecting Communities plan through Port Credit, possibly causing the removal of restaurant patios, over 100 mature trees, decorative street light poles, park benches, etc. along Lakeshore Road.
RESOURCES: Links will be posted here, pertaining to the long-time study of the Port Credit mainstreet and proven best practices. This video (below) was played at the Town Hall to demonstrate the possibility of a Road Diet in order to accommodate the full variety of uses, travel modes and landscaping required for a Complete Street.
