Walk Toronto’s Sean Marshall has written to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee to express Walk Toronto’s strong support for the YongeTOmorrow plan to widen sidewalks and create pedestrian priority zones on Yonge Street between Queen Street and College Street.
Marshall writes, “Yonge Street is Toronto’s signature main street, steeped in over 225 years of history, legend, and lore. It is the place where Torontonians congregate to celebrate sports victories, rally for political and social change, shop, dine, and enjoy performing art and cinema. … The YongeTOmorrow plan represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the existing and future needs of downtown residents, workers, students, and tourists, and give it the iconic treatment the street – and Toronto – deserves.”
The plan will be voted on by the committee on Monday Jan. 11, 2021.
