Toronto now has the density to support this kind of street transformation. Cars currently take up an outsized share of our public space, despite not doing most of the heavy lifting when it comes to moving people around. That honour belongs to walking, cycling and transit. I’d love to hear candidates in the mayoral and council races talk about how they will transform our streets to make Toronto quieter, safer and greener. After all, giving people attractive alternatives to driving is one of the most effective ways to reduce congestion. Paris, London and New York have already shown how to do this.
