1) We are opposed to the City of Toronto's Jarvis Street Streetscape Improvement proposal to permanently close the centre lane of traffic on Jarvis Street between Bloor St. and Queen St. 2) We call on the Mayor, City Council and the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee of the City of Toronto to reject the proposal. 3) We ask the the City of Toronto to: i. conduct a trial closure of the centre lane of Jarvis Street for two full months during prime business time (not the summer), preferably during the winter months; and ii. retain an independent traffic expert to analyze the impact on traffic of this closure and circulate the report to the residents and Council, prior to having the permanent lane closure presented for approval in front of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee.

Waste of money and time. Everyone is going to be stuck in gridlock for hours. Who approved this nonsense?

The city clearly has no idea how much traffic crawls through here. Get an expert to look at the numbers before doing something that cant be undone.

Jarvis is a nightmare already. Closing a lane will just push all that traffic onto the side streets where kids walk. Terrible idea.

keep the lane open. we pay enough taxes as it is without adding more road closures to the city.
