With the support of local residents’ associations, BIAs, city councillors and developers, the organization has launched the Light Up the Laneways initiative. Toronto Hydro provides patchy lighting throughout the network of 2,400 laneways across the city, but community advocates like Senayah say the lights are designed for cars, not people. While the future may be bright, Michelle Senayah says the present is dim for people walking and cycling through Toronto’s laneways. The Laneway Project also recently introduced an initiative to bring cycling infrastructure to laneways in order to give cyclists more options. Montreal has a green laneways program, with a lighting component run in partnership between local communities and the city.
