In Kevin's piece the alleyway proposal is ranked early in the do-nothing-to-major project continuum- low hanging fruit if you will. With the exception of portions of the Cannon bike lanes, the slightly-better-than- nothing mode seems to be the default for our cycling infrastructure in this city. The way that some (not all) of the alleys in this neighbourhood are being used and maintained is already a grass-roots exercise in community building by the people who live and work there. Instead of putting the brakes on this, why not build on that effort by advocating a proper mixed use for Barton St.? The landscaping and banners tried by the City a number of years ago didn't really do anything meaningful for the business owners and residents, but a more complete streets approach would.
