Wow, this is big news.
The GreekTown on the Danforth BIA on Tuesday opted not to raise their levies to help fund the street festival 2024.

I walked the Taste of the Danforth last summer, and definitely noticed a drop in crowd size, especially compared to the crazy large crowds from 10-15 years ago.
I'm curious what, if any, role the cost of mandatory security features played in their decision. Since the Yonge Street and Nice truck attacks, there have been additional security precautions in place for large street festivals, including more police, private security and
anti-truck barriers.
