The pathway connecting Aberfoyle Crescent to the main trail in Tom Riley Park, is a critical link within the local pedestrian network. It provides access to Islington Station, nearby schools, recreational facilities, and businesses along Bloor Street, and has become even more utilized due to sidewalk and lane closures associated with the Islington Station Easier Access & Redevelopment Project.
While the main park pathway receives winter maintenance, this steeper connecting segment does not, despite functioning as part of the same path network. In July 2026, Council supported my motion asking Staff to review ways to improve safety and access ahead of the upcoming winter season.
Thank you to the residents who have continued to advocate for improved access between Aberfoyle Crescent and Tom Riley Park.
