WALK CYCLE MOVE - The Annex

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 Annex neighbourhood safer for pedestrians and cyclists. We want to hear what you think.

The Annex neighbourhood boundaries are Dupont Street to the north, Avenue Road to the east, Christie Street to the west, and Harbord Street to the south west.

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

Thank you for your time. If you have any questions about this survey please contact:
