Pedestrianizing Market Street and Leader Lane |
I agree, this is a no-brainer that should have been done decades ago, or at the very least when they redeveloped Market Street. But better late than never. Combined with all the street improvements they are currently doing around the Flatiron intersection and along Wellington Street, this will drastically improve the safety, walkability and appearance of the entire area. Fingers crossed it is approved -- other more "drastic" proposals like Yonge St and the Esplanade revamp have passed recently, so I feel optimistic the time may have finally come for this.As a local that walks by frequently, I'd be really happy to see Market Street being pedestrian only year round.

There is a well thought-out and almost final plan for the 'beautification of Colborne Street from Church to Leader Lane which is being done by Cartera - the developers of 65 King. They would like to do it in 2021 but covid may delay it until 2022, The aim is to bring this 'treatment' down Leader Lane to Wellington. The next phase, Colborne going west to Yonge would be 'done' when the building at SE corner of Colborne & Yonge is developed (an an application is in for it.) Colborne Lane is more ofa problem but plan is to consolidate all the garbage at the Church end of itLeader Lane could be interesting; and could play into a project that ultimately creates more ambiance on Colbourne as well; though the new office tower has terrible massing/vibe on the Colbourne side....which is unfortunate.

I wonder how Colborne Lane will function.
Its currently one-way and requires Leader Lane to be navigable.

Colborne Lane itself could a very interesting, European scaled Mews if redone.......but that's a lot of garbage loading that would have to be handled differently.
You and many of us! The objectors are some of the St Lawrence Market merchants who think (rightly??) that many of their customers park there while they shop, If you think it should be closed 365 days a year I suggest you tell Wong-Tam, the BIA and the SLNA - all of whom are fairly or very supportive.As a local that walks by frequently, I'd be really happy to see Market Street being pedestrian only year round.

When I come downtown to the market, I rarely drive.
The exception would be if getting a Turkey..........wherein, I must admit to the habit of parking at Loblaws and walking up.
How dare you steal money from the Westons!![]()
