People living in the area say Metrolinx failed to deliver on a promise to create a pedestrian path under the elevated bridge.to carry GO Transit trains over the CP rail corridor near Dupont Street and Lansdowne Avenue. A barrier put in place during the construction remains in place, dividing Lappin Avenue West and Antler Street.
Vijayakumar has started a petition to get Metrolinx to put the promised pedestrian path back on the table and to have it built. As of Saturday more than 1,000 people had signed the petition. According to residents, the pedestrian pathway would allow neighbours on the west side of the tracks, who live on Antler Street, Symington Avenue and Campbell Avenue to get to the Wallace-Emerson Community Centre faster and more safely.
Bravo, who lives in Davenport, said the pedestrian path is a very small and simple thing that people have asked for.
