Description
Guest: David Rider, City Hall Bureau Chief The fate of ActiveTO is up for discussion at City Council this week. Established in April 2020 at the start of the pandemic lockdown, the program shut down major roads to let people ride their bikes and exercise while remaining physically distanced.

This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Matt Hearn and Raju Mudhar.
