This weekend’s edition will feature just two kilometres of major road closures on Lake Shore East, while cars will also be barred from quiet roads in High Park. Lake Shore West, by far the largest and most popular closure, has been left out on most weekends this year because staff say construction on the parallel Queensway-Queen-King route risks serious traffic congestion. However, council voted in April to ask staff to explore full or partial closures of Lake Shore West on at least some weekends. Mark Grimes (Ward 3, Etobicoke Lakeshore) has asked the Lake Shore West installation not be repeated. He also noted that in addition to road closures ActiveTO included a historic expansion of bike lanes last year on major streets like Bloor Street East, Danforth Avenue and University Avenue.
