WALK CYCLE MOVE - Black Creek

The way we move around our neighbourhoods from day to day affects our health.

Toronto Public Health and the Toronto Centre for Active Transportation are working together to find ways to make the Black Creek neighbourhood safer for pedestrians and cyclists. We want to hear what you think.

The Black Creek neighbourhood boundaries are Steeles Avenue to the north, Black Creek to the east, Finch Avenue West to the south, and highway 400 to the west. One area of interest is the new Black Creek Community Farm located near Jane and Steeles.

Please respond to the survey questions based on your own experience with walking and cycling in the Black Creek neighbourhood. The survey will take approximately 3-4 minutes to complete.
