Walk Toronto has written to Mayor John Tory to support implementing safe physical distancing measures on Toronto’s streets, echoing calls for temporary pedestrian and cycling infrastructure endorsed by Ryerson University professors and epidemiologists Anne Harris and Linda Rothman, among others. The measures would involve opening curb lanes on main streets for use by pedestrians, by closing them to vehicle use, in order to enable pedestrians to keep 2 metres distance from each other where sidewalks are narrow or obstructed. The letter was written by Walk Toronto steering committee member Sean Marshall.
