The city finally approved the walkway connection. It has been a long and draining struggle but I am relieved that students will now have a safe way to reach campus instead of cutting through private property.
Currently college and university students in Oshawa who live south of the campus walk to school in one of three ways.
1.They backtrack through residences to the
Niagara or Ryerson walkways and traverse the
full length of the parking lot.
2.They travel east to Simcoe St., North to the
campus entrance and then West back to the main
buildings.
3.They break through into the backyards of houses
which back onto the university and hop, climb
or squeeze their way to school.
The proposed Dalhousie walkway on the North West corner of Dalhousie strait into the University offers significant benefits to the community:
The proposed walkway would:
1.Reduce pedestrian traffic and garbage
in
Seeing this kind of momentum feels heavy because it confirms how many of us are exhausted by these daily detours. It is draining to keep pushing for something as simple as a direct path to school but your support reminds me why this matters.

Living on Dalhousie this would save me so much time every single morning. Tired of walking all the way around just to get to class.

My backyard is constantly full of students jumping the fence. Just build the path already so we can have some privacy back!

Simcoe is a death trap for pedestrians. Do this before someone actually gets hit by a car.

About time. Walking through the parking lot in the winter is brutal.
