Make cycling better in Ward 22
A group of cyclists in Ward 22 – St. Paul’s (the east half of the St. Paul’s riding, east of Spadina Ave – see map) have started up a local community chapter of the Toronto Cyclists Union. If you are a cyclist in Ward 22, or if you just want to make cycling better in the ward, you can get involved! The group is currently undertaking a survey of cyclists to determine the areas in most need of improvement. The survey only takes 20 minutes to complete, and your local knowledge is invaluable.

For a copy of the survey, or for more information visit the TCU22 website at bikeunion.to/ward/22 or email ward22@bikeunion.to.
