Enjoyed some delicious tacos & corn from Mariachi's (2084 Yonge) in @midtownbia for #BikeFridays. Plus the first day of #CafeTO on Yonge! Public space now supporting pedestrians, planters, patios, patrons – perhaps ? next? ? #BuyLocalBikeLocal #BikesLoveYonge #BikeTO pic.twitter.com/ByNax3Ropj

The first curb lane closures were installed today as part of the approved #CafeTO program! CafeTO aims to help some local restaurants and bars make more space for physical distancing as part of stage 2. #Covid19 #CityofTO pic.twitter.com/6l4RVt4abi

A few pics of people biking in the new space, and dozens of people on the new patio at @midtownbia's @stlouiswings. #BuyLocalBikeLocal #BikesLoveYonge pic.twitter.com/iDWPvdGXAH

CafeTO being set up in Forest Hill Village along with several other local main streets in our ward. Keeping small businesses alive and finally bringing a vibrant patio culture to Toronto. pic.twitter.com/WRRI4JjGeH

Yesterday, midtown Yonge was transformed by #cafeTO. Look at this. Interim materials but incredible impact. On-street patios mean more sidewalk space for #walkTO. Cars allowed, but drivers more cautious. And there's even some space for #BikeTO. pic.twitter.com/2wbkMNAF5n

This is the experience from #bikeTO's perspective next to the new #CafeTO installations in @midtownbia on Yonge. The patio dwellers were having a really fun (and fairly safe) time. pic.twitter.com/tQENVmejnX

Taking it to the streets. Two local restaurants are sharing a new space right on Mount Pleasant Ave. (Hazel's Diner by day, and Wild Chicory at night) . Terrific idea!.@pivotgreen2020 @jen_keesmaat pic.twitter.com/NXQxd1Bq4Y
