Left work at 5:40 today. Walked along King from Spadina to Church before a Street car caught up with me. It short turned a Church. Something has to be done.
I can't believe that the restaurant owners on King don't see the potential revenue gains from all the expanded partio space and pedestrial appeal that would come from closing a lane. I can see that doing it temporarily would confuse people, but it would also generate interest. I would also say that the city should be prepared to assist the local businesses in benefitting from the change: e.g. grant permission for exapanded patios, make sure that the street is appealing to pedestrians.
