We have heard from residents and have seen for ourselves that Margate Street is currently a rat run for motorist attempting to bypass traffic on Chuter Avenue and trying to turn right into northbound traffic on Rocky Point Road.
As part of the Kamay Greenway this road can be reimagined. And it doesn’t need a major overhaul to change how it is used.
Painting or paving the road and installing planted buildouts into the road at intersection corners, instead of no stopping zones, can create pinch points to slow car users.
The addition of a separated cycle way along one side can make this a safe connection for bike riders and kids on scooters. But what about parking? This road, by our estimations,! is wide enough to accommodate bicycle infrastructure and parking along both sides.
Reducing the speed limit from 50 down to 30 can also make this road less car-centric. The Kamay Greenway Working Group, in conjunction with the community after hearing from residents on our route mapping walk, proposes this road be made a quietway to facilitate an active transport link between Scarborough Park and the greenspace that continues south on park rd.
Comment below with your suggestions, ideas, concerns, and feedback on this part of the route.
