Toronto needs to stop waiting for the “perfect conditions” before building anything. The Yonge Street makeovers (both of them) are delayed waiting for a perfect fantastical future where their construction won't bother anyone. That's not how Montreal got its pedestrian streets.
I've talked a bit recently about how I think Toronto could have a world-class transportation system, and in this post I try to begin outlying how I think that would happen in just the next decade or two.
