Joe Cressy for Spadina-Fort York tweeted the program should be made permanent and expanded to improve Toronto. The city noted that measuring that data against weekends with no closures in place, it’s clear it’s a popular program. There is a very strong appetite for more public space, more green space and more active transportation,” he said. “A program like ActiveTO should be expanded widely ... and not be constantly whittled away by people who only care about convenience for car drivers,” Spieker said. “This is an issue of quality of life for residents of Toronto, and quality of life should come before convenience for driving,” she said.
