I work downtown. Well not downtown downtown but at King and Dufferin. I'd say 2/3 of the staff drive to work. In fact we had to expand our parking lot to fit every car. Of course not one bike pole was installed. For this simple reason alone Toronto can't be great. One person lives about 10 minute walk away, he drives. Another lives 15 minute walk away, she drives. The grocery store is approx a 5 minute walk from work, and usually takes an exceptional beautiful sunny day to even make the walk there a consideration. I'd say this attitude is the mainstream of Toronto. I feel very alone with my frustration on this. I think at times it makes me obsess over it because of it.
To me, this is why Toronto can't be great.
