Plan to pedestrianize Church Street could bring car-free summer to Toronto’s Gay Village
The pedestrian-only zone would run from June to August between Wellesley and Alexander Streets
A new plan at city hall could turn the stretch of Church Street in Toronto’s Church-Wellesley neighbourhood, known as The Village, into a car-free zone this summer.
If approved, the proposal would see the street transformed into a pedestrian-only space between Wellesley Street East and Alexander Street from June 19 to Aug. 21.
Rodney Chan, a Toronto native and urban planning student at the University of Waterloo, first floated the idea of pedestrianizing the street just over a year ago.
“I created a map with the proposed pedestrianized areas I would like to see,” he told CBC Toronto. “Church Street is already pedestrianized during Pride, during Halloween [and] it’s always so successful.”
