With the support of Councillor Josh Matlow, the proposal to restrict to buses only one of the two lanes in each direction on Bathurst between Bloor and Eglinton was dropped from the proposal sent to city council on July 16. A dedicated streetcar line from Bloor to Lakeshore was retained and passed by city council.
The proposal was dropped after community groups like Protect Bathurst and the CLRA pointed out the disastrous consequences that the proposal had on businesses on Bathurst and in neighbouring communities.
