Yonge from College to Queen will become green wonderland

Toronto City Council has voted 21 to five in favour of a plan to transform Yonge St from College to Queen Sts. into something quite different. Singe lane traffic, or maybe one-way sections, wider sidewalks, benches, trees and of course lots of bicycles. It’s called the YongeTOmorrow plan. It gained momentum when the City found it needed to dig up most of the street to replace a 19th Century water and drainage system. “Thank you to the residents, (business) owners, thought leaders, cultural mavens who spoke in support of this big urban transformation,” tweeted Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam.
