I finally ran the length of Queen’s Quay in Toronto during the opening weekend of the TO2015 PanAm Games. The street really deserved a follow-up from my previous article, “Was Queens Quay Ready for her 2015 Opening?“. Here are some images and my impressions for the western half of Queen’s Quay, with a bonus look at TO2015’s effect on the Martin Goodman Trail.

Queen’s Quay at Harbourfront in Toronto

The south sidewalk and bike lanes on Queen’s Quay were pretty crowded from east of Yonge through Bay Street, so I jogged on the north sidewalk.

The first image, above, shows the TO2015 zip line at Harbourfront. A moment after I snapped this picture, one of the people stepped off the platform. I didn’t see him (?) zip; my next photo shows a rope dangling straight down.

TO2015 hosted some free music in their Celebration Zone, as well.

I had noticed that the southern sidewalk wasn’t too busy, so I continued west but crossed Queen’s Quay at the next intersection.

Queen’s Quay West at Bathurst

I’d crossed Bathurst and took some photos at this intersection. Looking east at the Harbourfront Community Centre, the best news is the bike path, separate from the sidewalk.

Both the sidewalk and bike trail are well used at this point, but there’s no confusion or congestion here.

Looking west from Bathurst at the final section of Queen’s Quay, the Martin Goodman Trail has the bicycle lines separated from automobile traffic, but also below sidewalk level. In my opinion, this is ideal for everyone. But what is that orange sign in the distance?

This is an early warning sign, well before you need it. The Martin Goodman Trail was unchanged from Queen’s Quay through Coronation Park and the eastern portion of Ontario Place.

Bonus Views of Lake Shore Blvd near the CNE

Then the Martin Goodman Trail route entered a TO2015 PanAm venue, so we bikers and runners switched onto Lakeshore Blvd. The above image looks back east along the two-lane trail. The concrete barriers on the north (left) allowed cars to enter the CNE grounds. I’m standing opposite that entrance; the concrete barriers actually curve north, forcing the service vehicles into the Canadian National Exhibition.

Looking west, the concrete barriers have disappeared. The sign for the PAP venue is visible. If I understand the Toronto PanAm maps, these photos are on the recommended pedestrian passageway for spectators to reach the PAP entrance.

Big Improvements for Queen’s Quay

The western half of Queen’s Quay earns top marks for the improvements, especially for having the bike lanes as part of the Martin Goodman Trail. I’m especially pleased that the residential section west of Bathurst has the separated bike lanes. It’s also important that the sidewalks don’t have bike traffic; I’ve seen lots of younger children in this area, and they don’t need any extra confusion with “mixing zones” near Little Norway Park.

I added the section on Lake Shore Blvd since drivers may want to know why TO2015 is blocking off that section of a major street. The barricades help guide the triathletes and marathon runners during their PanAm events.

Looking for More Attractions in Toronto Canada?

My blog tracks many of the annual Toronto events that I find interesting, free or frugal.

CityPASS offers discount tickets to Toronto attractions, including Metro Toronto Zoo coupons. Buy their voucher online, print it and take it to your first destination; let’s say it’s the zoo. They activate the booklet but remove the Metro Toronto Zoo discount tickets. Visit the next four attractions, where helpful staff relieve your booklet of tickets but leave you with the rest of the information. You save over $40 by spending about $70. The voucher is good for almost two years, but once you start, you have to use all the discount admission tickets within nine days. This is terrific for PanAm tourists looking for multiple things to do in Toronto between competitions, or for a hometown stay-cation. Tickets include Casa Loma, the CN Tower, the Metro Toronto Zoo, the Ontario Science Centre and the Royal Ontario Museum in a nine day adventure.
