It's depressing to fight for new infrastructure and then fight again to keep it, but that's the way many of our cities operate. #Yonge4All is gathering support to keep street changes on Yonge that improve safety and livability for everyone - join them! http://www.yonge4all.ca

The Yonge Street Complete Street Pilot has been wildly successful by pretty much every metric you could think of, and it's still subjected to multiple votes, which means multiple chances to lose it. The next council vote is in early 2023.

@mbonsma I hope they are lucky - Vancouver sadly nixed the bike lane expansion in Stanley Park

@leslore I saw that - so sad. It didn't even block vehicle access, just restricted the direction of travel!
