This video does an excellent job of illustrating the significant improvement in safety that the #ActiveTO Complete Street has brought to Midtown Yonge St. Let's make this pilot permanent so the close-calls (and crashes) which were such a regular occurrence can remain in the past.
In August, I recorded a ride along Yonge Street , right after the cycle tracks were installed as part of the ActiveTO Midtown Complete Street Pilot. Then I superimposed 50 of my own close passes to show how much the cycle tracks make a difference.

@DonCycle Went from NEVER shopping on Yonge to making multiple trips north of Bloor in the last few days. Completely changes the feel of the street for the better. New destination for us.
(Have also yet to see these horrific traffic jams I read about)
11 years ago, Emily and I started a cycling advocacy group in Midtown Toronto... One decade, 3 elections, a rebrand to @CycleToronto , dozens of volunteers, hundreds of letters, many council votes and consultations, and one pandemic later... there are now bike lanes on Yonge!
Yesterday, went up and down Yonge to visit a friend. Northbound #activeTO lanes so much better with protection and loading zones as promised by @BeckyKatz96!
Thanks to the #YongeStreetBikeLane, I was able to pick up a young friend's bike so he could ride home from camp to a playdate at our house, then safely take him home at the end. Thanks to all who helped make this a reality. Kids belong on Yonge*!
Lots more progress on the Yonge #CompleteStreet. Many of the Northbound curbs have now been installed w/ flexible posts. A raised bus platform has been added. It's great to see so many people out enjoying this great new infrastructure! #ActiveTO#CafeTO#bikeTO#BikesLoveYonge
The Yonge #CompleteStreet just keeps getting better! This week the city began installing concrete curbs for the Northbound #bikeTO lane, plus adding artistic street paint to buffered areas. More details on what's still to come: https://t.co/623IAnOX4c #BikesLoveYonge#ActiveTO
