One Great City

My name is Brent Gilliard. I am a freshly-minted urban planner in Toronto. This is where I write, mostly about my adoptive city, to stay happy and sane. There is certainly no shortage of things to say about Toronto these days.

During a Jane’s Walk earlier this month (some highlights were captured on video here), I walked along a portion of the multi-use trail in the Finch Hydro Corridor.

It was not visibly used by neighbours on a sunny Saturday afternoon, but for what little it costs to build these connections, they ought to blanket the suburbs. A network of trails would be a lot more useful than a single linear path.

It also couldn’t hurt to clear them of snow in the winter.
