Toronto has far more of these closures than Montreal and they cause far more disruption. Almost all of them are on the same weekend that parts of the subway are shut down for construction. Toronto's car race (Honda Indy) closes Lake Shore Blvd for more than 4 days and causes delays of up to 1 hour on Gardiner. This year subway Line 2 was closed from Jane to Ossington for construction for two of those days. To make matters worse, Bloor Street West was closed from near Jane to Runnymede for "Bloor West Street Fest" one of those days forcing the subway replacement shuttle buses to detour. There are hundreds of these closures per year causing a huge amount of disruption, including two marathons, nine events (including the marathons) which close DVP, Gardiner or Lake Shore, and dozens which disrupt very busy bus and streetcar routes. It is long overdue that these sorts of "events" be banned because of the excessive disruption that they cause.
