Toronto’s Traffic Shift Works | Toronto News

Toronto’s downtown traffic overhaul at Wellington and Portland is paying off—car traffic dropped 52% while cycling surged 38%, with pedestrians and cyclists now making up 89% of trips along Portland. The city successfully diverted through-traffic, mostly from outside the neighborhood, to Bathurst or Spadina, improving safety and connectivity for active transport. Traffic lights were tweaked to improve flow for cars (now handling 6–8 vehicles per cycle), though some drivers face slight delays. Initial hiccups were due to a light glitch, not rerouting. Data shows this infrastructure shift is working—and people are actually using it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
