Adventure in walking for LHS kids on Eglinton

The construction on Eglinton Ave E. opposite Leaside High School has narrowed traffic to two lanes and created an adventure in pedestrian walkways for students. It’s all quite safe but curious too as kids now take a concrete-buttressed diversionary path running beside traffic. This young man is heading south after exiting the long tube of safety barriers used to create a walkway. He waits in what would normally be the middle of the street for the light to change before heading toward LHS on the south side. Traffic has been shifted to the south side of Eglinton and reduced to one lane in each direction near Donlea Drive from west of Bessborough Drive to just east of Hanna Road. It is part of the Eglinton LRT project.  Previous post
