Open Streets TO Long Run #2

This Sunday, we again get to take over (some) streets!

As always, during these warm months, we will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the West End Y Also, as usual, you will require your ID if you wish to use the facilities.

Back to the route. Bloor and Yonge are closed to cars from Spadina to Parliament and from Bloor to Queen respectively.

Once we get to Parliament, we’re nice and close to the Beltline so we’re going to do that! How? Here’s the map and description.
