On Saturday, March 4, 2024, Walk Toronto co-sponsored, with Yonge4All, a Jane’s Walk, “Why Sidewalks Matter,” exploring pedestrian infrastructure and issues along Yonge Street. The walk was led by Walk Toronto’s Lee Scott and Yonge4All’s Holly Reid. It began at Ramsden Park, and ended at Yonge and St. Clair. A big thanks to everyone who joined us for the walk!
The walk was live-tweeted by Yonge4All’s Robin Richardson, so the story of the walk is told here through those postings on X/Twitter.

@LeeScottWPW observes that true complete streets – with greenery, artwork, pedestrian crossings, etc. – reduce speeding and improve safety for all road users. pic.twitter.com/bMEi2ljxbZ
