If Toronto tries, learn from Vancouver’s failed trial.
- I wouldn’t call it a ‘trial’.
  It was in place for a couple of decades. Agreed that it failed in the end, as did Rideau street in Ottawa.
  
  Article says it was in place for 5 weeks.
  
  I was referring to the one in Vancouver.
  
  The article in question is about a 5 week failed trial in Vancouver.

  Yes but I had noted that there’s been a previous 2 decade installation on Granville in Vancouver elsewhere on the thread.
  There’s been a lot of success with these in Europe, less in North America.
