I strongly believe that parks should be off limit to bicycle users.

Our parks are visited by seniors, parents with small children and dog walkers.

Parks are used for picnics and other gatherings. 

To introduce bicycles riders in our peaceful parks is not necessary since many 

public roads are available  and better suitable. 

Don’t let the City pave over walking path and hiking trails.

It is so much better to walk on natural trails than on concrete.

• Our green spaces including parks and ravines are the 
•  last sanctuary for our wildlife.
• We all enjoy watching foxes, deer, coyotes and birds in our parks.
• Our wildlife comes first and must be protected.

 Please attend the public meetings to be informed about 

 City of Toronto future plans for our parks.

This trail is a quite narrow trail leading along Grey Abbey Ravine to the park area below.
To share trails similar with bicycles is not the right thing to do.

A few years ago the City of Toronto replanted and re-naturalized this area to combat
Dog-strangling vine and other weed infestations.
Today the area provides wildflowers and native trees for wildlife and visitors to enjoy.
On the other side of this space is a polluted pond fed by a small spring.
 An old water drainage pipe is installed under the proposed path.
The pipe connects to Grey Abbey Ravine for drainage as seen below and Lake Ontario. If the City of Toronto is going ahead with installing a bicycle path through this area
I hope there will be an environmental assessment resulting in
cleanup and restoration of the pond and surrounding park land.
