We Stop at Oakwood!
Petition published by Bryan on Jun 26, 2012
Target: Metrolinx and the Provincial Government of Ontario
Region: Canada
Web site: www.joshcolle.ca
Petition Background (Preamble):
Dear Friends
The Eglinton and Oakwood community needs your help to make an Oakwood Station on the Eglinton Crosstown possible.
In January, several elected officials and community partners came together to send a joint letter to Metrolinx requesting that an Oakwood Station be included in their final plans for the Eglinton Crosstown. With a possible decision in the coming months, a petition by local residents and businesses has been launched to further advocate to Metrolinx and the Provincial Government to include a station stop at Oakwood.
An Eglinton Crosstown station at Oakwood would:
- Provide similar spacing between stations on Eglinton as is currently on the Bloor subway line;
- Better serve a growing number of residents and transit riders in the area;
- Improve access for seniors and others with mobility challenges;
- Encourage redevelopment and business activity in the area.
Please sign the petition and lend your support to community leaders fighting for an oakwood Station.
An accompanying paper petition is also being organized. If you know of community members interested in supporting this campaign who do not have internet access, please contact my office at 416-392-4027 or councillor_colle@toronto.ca and I will be happy to arrange for your voice to be included in this initiative.
Sincerely
Josh
