Toronto Mayor John Tory called for a review of the ActiveTO program during the summer and spring, specifically the closure of Lakeshore Boulevard West.
ActiveTO is an initiative to close major streets over the weekend, a program launched in May 2020 by the City of Toronto.
The initiative saw the rapid installation of temporary bike lanes and other improvements to make roads safer in many areas of Toronto. The city said it has received complaints about ActiveTO, specifically the closure of Lakeshore Boulevard West, so it needs to re -evaluate the relevance of the program.
Alison Stewart of Cycle Toronto wants the city to make decisions that will satisfy all road users.It takes investment, insight and courage of our elected officials to invest in programs that will convince people to get out of their vehicles and explore the benefits of active transportation. he says.
