The CBC and CityNews are reporting that a group of businesses in Yorkville are filing a lawsuit against the city regarding the planned reconstruction of the "posh" shopping district.
"The Bloor Street Transformation Project was flawed from the start. It has been planned, and is now being executed without the expertise of retail businesses on Bloor," Ruby said in a prepared statement.

Some Toronto cycling advocates are hoping that this may put the issue of bikelanes on this part of Bloor back "on the table", but I wouldn't be so sure, as one of the main concerns of the merchant group is the "loss of parking".
