Drew was also quick to point out that their representative at city hall, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.toronto.ca\/councillors\/rae1.htm\">Councillor Kyle Rae<\/a>, has shown support for this pedestrian-friendly initiative so the rally is really about bringing the downtown neighbourhood together to show a united front and encourage speedy action from decision-makers.<\/p>\n<p>Closing part of Gould St. has been a point of discussion for many years. However, because of the construction of Toronto Life Square, which brought lane restrictions to Gould and Victoria Sts., the City of Toronto put a halt to the plans. Now that construction is completed, the Ryerson community is hoping their campus-building initiative will be given the green light.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Close Gould Street Rally<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who:<\/strong> Ryerson students, community members and supporters of pedestrian-friendly initiatives<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong> Corner of Gould and Victoria Sts.
