It’s Monday, April 6th 2020. While doing our weekly grocery run we decided to drive around Toronto and film empty streets during Coronavirus pandemic.
We were surprised to see many people being out, strolling, riding bikes, walking the dogs and pushing strollers. Some parts of the city felt pretty lively and even though not as packed with cars and people as usual, but still quite bustling.
We had nowhere to rush, so we leisurely drove around some of the popular sightseeing spots and usually busy streets. We kept driving for about an hour without leaving the car to respect social distancing rule.
We started our journey by taking Don Valley Parkway to Gardiner Expressway. We passed by downtown Toronto and kept driving till we got off at Lake Shore Blvd. West. We made a u-turn and passed by Ontario Place and Princess Gates. We drove on Front York Blvd and enjoyed a great view of Toronto Skyline, passed by Rogers Centre, CN Tower and Ripley’s Aquarium. Made a u-turn at Scotiabank Arena, drove by Front street west, Queen street, University and Dundas street. Passed by Dundas Square and went South, back to Gardiner Express via Yonge street.
