and Urban Design Study, which addresses 19 km of the corridor,
providing key recommendations for Travelling, Greening and
Building Eglinton. Through a brief presentation that focuses on
the Travelling theme, the presentation and panel discussion will
speak to how a meaningful engagement process can build
champions to not only plan and design, but also ensure the
implementation of complete streets.

The panel will speak to the central characteristics of the
participatory process, which included visioning, consulting early
and often with the public, and being responsive to issues as they
are identified, both with internal and external stakeholders.
Panelists will share issues that were identified during the Study,
deliberate choices that needed to be made, engagement
methods and tools that were most useful as part of the planning
and design process, as well as key outcomes and current
challenges to tackle moving forward.
