## Resource

Toronto’s Church Street is getting a major makeover—closed to cars for three weeks, this pedestrian-only pilot between Wellesley and Alexander Streets is turning heads and boosting vibes. Residents rave about the walkability and atmosphere, while business owners see mixed results but agree the street feels more inviting. One local business leader hopes the project returns longer next year, with tweaks like less security. The city’s listening—and Mayor Chow’s open to expanding these zones if the community supports it. This could be the start of a new, walkable Toronto. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
