Not sure what this post is getting at, but the Toronto Transportation “development standards” do not include an option for a car-free public street.

To my knowledge, post-1950, Toronto has never once created a new public street as a car-free space.

That is exactly why the City are having a hard time making Market Street permanently pedestrianised. Bizarre but..

To my understanding, there was a claim made or indicated in the discourse here that due to places like Regent Park having the issues they did because they had no car accessible streets running through it. Which would be a weird take that completely misses the plight of these areas and ignores more obvious explanations (ie. rampant poverty). Hence, a case of correlation that does equal causation.

...now, there is a chance that I did misread that conversation, to which you can consider this point mute. Either way, I hope that clears my rambling about this up a little. 😸
 
On another note. What does the intersection of (the future) Queens Quay extension and Cherry St look like? Is it transit only? Was just eyeballing the map and trying to think of where you’d put lights and how far apart and whether the lights on the QQ extension would be timed opposite of the lights on Lakeshore.

Also, cmon big tech. Do another pass on the satellite and update these aerials. Hawc killing your game.

It’s not the focus of this review but there is a glimpse of how Queens Quay interfaces with the new Cherry St, which I believe is new:

Also of note, there are changes to the typical road section. No more green track on LRT guideway to support fire, EMS, and replacement bus service. As a result, the 2 lane roadway can be reduced from 8.5m to 6.6m width. This saved width will go to additional green infrastructure.
