In Saunders’s picture showing how bad the King Street transit lane is affecting traffic on an early Sunday morning there are 2 cars. Perhaps if we re-opened King Street we could pump that up to 3, or possibly even 4 cars early on Sunday morning, and finally fix traffic on quiet Sunday mornings!
What’s going on with the patio program this year? A nearby coffee shop/bakery is trying to re-open a patio that’s been used in the past by previous tenants at their location but which hasn’t been used in the past few years and, despite putting in their application months ago, they still haven’t heard a response one way or another. The sidewalk is wide, the space is marked out with pre-amalgamation Metropolitan Toronto cement bollards, yet it takes the city more than 2 months to even consider their application?
Yet another engineering firm’s proposal to fix traffic amounts to private pods in the sky. While I do think that Wonderland needs a high-order transit connection, I can’t help but think if those wires were closer to the ground, electrified, and positioned over a tram track they would provide much higher throughput, utility, flexibility, and all-weather reliability than gondolas.
