I have said this before but: Creating 'Car Free Zones' improves our public spaces and makes the city more enjoyable for pedestrians. It also helps with reducing carbon emissions. The primary reason people drive instead of finding alternate methods of transportation is that driving is convenient. If we are ever going to have a serious impact on carbon emissions (as well as Toronto's air quality) a concerted effort must be made to make driving in Toronto far less convenient. So kudos to the Ryerson University students who are staging a Close Gould Street Rally this Thursday.
Close Gould Street Rally Who: Ryerson students, community members and supporters of pedestrian-friendly initiatives Where: Corner of Gould and Victoria Sts. (One block north of Dundas St., one block east of Yonge St.) When: Thursday, January 24, 12:00-2:00PM For more information, visit the Close Gould Street Facebook group.
