The Lawrence Prospect Campaign

A campaign to make a safer and better Lawrence Avenue in Wexford. Account ran by Hafeez A. (@trainguy89)

[The Lawrence Prospect Campaign @Law_Prospect]

We’re embarking on a journey to make Lawrence Avenue a safer & better street in Wexford.

Now, more than ever is the best time to make changes and we cannot afford to wait.

Our goal is to bring all the voices to the table, to make a street for everyone.

Wide centre death lane ✅
6 lanes of high speed traffic ✅
Narrow, unbuffered sidewalks ✅
No bike infrastructure ✅

Looks a lot like Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough🤔

Yet the city and councillor thinks this is perfectly acceptable for our Vision Zero & TransformTO goals.

Last week, we visited about 80 businesses along Lawrence Av. in Wexford, giving them flyers about our campaign & also talking with local business owners!

Businesses are essential to Wexford Hts. Let’s flip the script and talk about why complete streets can be good for business!

Volunteer Request: Wed. March 8 @ 1pm

Hey, it’s been a while but we’re back in action!

We'll be visiting local businesses to drop off flyers for them and talking with business owners about our vision!

If you have some time, please RSVP or stop by! https://t.co/kYPdBVL7fs

Why wait to give Lawrence Avenue the 'complete street' upgrades it needs? This @UWaterloo student started The Lawrence Project as a call for action. https://t.co/Q28vum1cy9 @Law_Prospect #CompleteStreets #TOpoli @Thompson_37 @VisionZeroTO #WexfordHeights #ScarbTO

Thanks to everyone for coming out to help drop off our remaining flyers today.

This is only our first step of making Lawrence a better street for all.

[The Lawrence Prospect Campaign @Law_Prospect]

Also @CanadaRobin thanks for the help too!

[The Lawrence Prospect Campaign @Law_Prospect]

I'm hoping to get the remaining flyers I have into mailboxes, and we need enough people to do that. We'll be dropping off flyers this Saturday at 1pm (Lawrence/Warden), and we really could use some help.

If you have some time, please RSVP or stop by!

"It's about making a street that can serve everyone and a street that is actually safe for people to travel on."

@NWestoll speaks with the founder of @Law_Prospect and has more on a campaign to bring bus and bike lanes to part of Lawrence Avenue East.

I'm really excited to be starting this campaign so we can make Lawrence a street for all.

One of our key goals is to get residents involved and aware of what's happening. That's why we want to get the word out. It's nice to start off simple.
