"The proposed pedestrian-only zone would be in place between Wellesley Street E. and Alexander Street from June 19 to August 21, allowing for extended patios and public gatherings."
"Rodney Chan, a Toronto native and urban planning student, first floated the idea of pedestrianizing the street just over a year ago, emphasizing its success during events like Pride."
"Coun. Chris Moise has been advocating for the pedestrianization of Church Street since his 2022 campaign, stating, 'We're working very diligently with city staff to try and make this happen.'"
"Despite concerns about traffic congestion, Chan believes Church Street is an ideal location for a pedestrian-only zone, describing it as a 'pretty minor street.'"
A proposal aims to transform Church Street in Toronto's Church-Wellesley neighbourhood into a pedestrian-only zone from June 19 to August 21. The initiative, originally suggested by urban planning student Rodney Chan, seeks to create a vibrant public space with extended patios and areas for entertainment. Coun. Chris Moise supports the plan, which will be reviewed by the Toronto and East York community council. While concerns about traffic congestion exist, the area is considered suitable for this pedestrianization experiment.
