Our Greenway is based out of York University’s City Institute and is a research, test-bed and advocacy group aimed at creating a 40+ km roadside and ravine linear park network across Toronto’s suburban northwest. Stated to be “the first of its kind in the world”, ‘Mobility Greenway’ will support a range of personal and commercial mobility devices whereby people of all ages and abilities will be able to travel across the northwest quickly in comfort.’  The Our Greenway Project is led by urban planner and sustainable mobility advocate Darnel Harris.
