“The Byron Linear Park is IMPORTANT”

“I use Byron Linear Park because it’s convenient, it is surrounded by interesting venues; it allows for interaction with other people, it has trees; it is a barrier versus Richmond Rd.”

“I prefer reduced Roadway to preserve park space and trees in Byron Park. The buffer between Byron and Richmond is important.”

“Would like to see the greenspace we have maintained…its a great neighbourhood in many ways for greenspaces and it is important to keep this.”
