Timeline: 2021 onwards
In April 2021, Toronto City Council approved the installation of a temporary Complete Street Pilot on Yonge Street between Bloor Street and Davisville Avenue as part of the City’s Pandemic Mobility Recovery Strategy.
Yonge Street has been transformed into a complete street through the CaféTO and ActiveTO programs, which were both created in 2020 as quick-start COVID-19 response programs. CaféTO provided urgent support to hundreds of local restaurants and ActiveTO has connected the City’s cycling network like never before.
The pilot provides support for local businesses and surrounding communities by expanding outdoor patio areas, improving safety and comfort for everyone, and providing a safe and protected bike lane along the Line 1 subway.
2023 Update
On February 8, 2023, City Council voted in favour of making the ActiveTO Midtown Complete Stree Pilot permanent, with changes to address the immediate concerns of local residents and businesses.
