Why is this story here?
ContainedA heavy vehicle prohibition is a genuine decision affecting traffic flow on one corridor (between two named intersections), but it is reversible and does not change the institution or constrain future councils. It is bounded to one street segment.Touches a narrow groupThe ban affects heavy vehicle drivers, commercial operators, and residents on or near St Albans Road. Most Toronto residents do not use this street regularly, so the effect is narrow and at one remove from daily life for the majority. For those who do use it, the change is direct.
Stories are ordered by how much weight a decision carries and how directly it reaches daily life. They rise as a decision date approaches and fall as they age.
