Awaiting the plan for #OpenStreetsTO in 2026
Hard to ‘shop/eat/enjoy local’ when potential customers/visitors are playing a life and death version of Frogger.
Upcoming election for #TOpoli will showcase who has the #PoliticalWill to future proof our city.
Car dependency isn’t it.

2016 The 2016 Open Streets TO program was the largest to-date. The program included two dates and had a route of 10km that crossed the iconic Bloor St Viaduct. Over 80,000 people participated.

Great video from @streetfilms.bsky.social in this @nyc.streetsblog.org article about Summer Streets NYC which spans 35 km (22 miles) this year! It's disappointing that Toronto STILL hasn't held #OpenStreetsTO since August 2022. #BikeTO #BikeNYC #WalkTO #TOpoli nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/08/f...

Instagram post from toutoune.gallery -- Saw a call on reddit for help on distributing these flyers encouraging Torontonians to sign a petition to express our shared desire for more OpenStreetsTO & ActiveTO programs! To those who will trip over themselves to call me a paid shill by the government (ahem, BathurstIsHome) or question why I would do this... or who is funding this small endeavor... It basically cost me a whole $5 to print 25 copies on yellow 8.5×11 copy paper (4 flyers per page), which were then cut. ✂️ Thanks a lot, @netplaza1 !!! I nearly broke the bank with this one 🤣🤣 Please come grab one flyer or a handful! Help us distribute them to friends, public utility poles, community bulletin boards, and other friendly businesses. 😙 I also have one taped in the front window that anyone can scan and sign online without even having to come into the store. 🫡 WE CAN HAVE A BETTER TORONTO. I truly believe that. #activeTO #OpenStreetsTO Main image is of a flyer promoting the open streets petition.

Are you jealous of Hamilton having open streets while Toronto hasn't had it since 2022? Then sign & share the petition calling on Mayor Olivia Chow & City Council to bring back open streets to Toronto by 2026! #BikeTO #WalkTO #ActiveTO #OpenStreetsTO #TOpoli #HamOnt actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma...

For you open streets fans out there, Hamilton will be hosting their first event of 2025 this Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. If you can't make it, there will be another one on Sunday, September 28. #HamOnt #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #OpenStreetsTO #ActiveTO (1/2) www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbo...
From what I understand, the #OpenStreetsTO volunteers wanted to use crossing guards to manage intersections, but the police and/or Mayor John Tory insisted on using more costly paid duty officers.
If you believe this needs to change, please join the almost 400 people (and 19 organizations) in signing and sharing this petition calling on Mayor Chow and City Council to bring back open streets to Toronto! #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli #OpenStreetsTO #ActiveTO actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma...
Montréal recently unveiled their list of pedestrian streets for this summer. Which other cities have you heard adopt pedestrian streets (or open streets) while leaving Toronto in the dust? #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli #OpenStreetsTO #ActiveTO montreal.citynews.ca/2025/05/26/m...
Wouldn't it be great if we can bring this back to Toronto? If you agree, please join the almost 400 people who signed the open streets petition and share widely! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ActiveTO #OpenStreetsTO actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma...
There's a real need to remove the requirement of paid duty officers at street festivals and open streets events. Heard security related costs are one contributing factor to #OpenStreetsTO being stopped in Toronto after 2022. #TOpoli
Almost two weeks after launching the open streets petition and 332 people have signed it. Surely there are a lot more people who support #OpenStreetsTO & #ActiveTO than the over 1600 who signed a petition opposing #RapidTO lanes on Bathurst? #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma...
picture is from 2017, and i'm in it, like a goof, looking off to the side at something else
yes, let's do #OpenStreetsTO again
(Cont'd) If you haven't already done so, please join the almost 300 people and 15 organizations who signed the open streets petition and help spread the word! Let's get to at least 1000 signatures! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #OpenStreetsTO #ActiveTO actionnetwork.org/petitions/ma...
Thanks Kathryn Mannie of @torontotoday.ca for speaking with me - as well as other #OpenStreetsTO & #ActiveTO supporters - about the need for Mayor Olivia Chow and City Council to bring back open streets programs to Toronto! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...
