Three years after being made permanent, pedestrian protections are in disrepair and traffic rules no longer seem to be enforced.
When it was made permanent three years ago, the King Street transit priority corridor was hailed as a visionary model that could change how we get around downtown, and one that other cities could emulate.
The pilot project, which kicked off in 2017, was designed to de-clog and streamline traffic by restricting cars and giving priority to streetcars between Bathurst and Jarvis Streets, helping to move commuters more quickly between downtown and a booming Liberty Village. Before that, “King Street wasn’t working for anyone,” Mayor John Tory. “We had 65,000 people inching along King Street on the streetcar each and every day. You could walk faster.
“It’s disappointing to me to go down King Street now as a person who worked on it,” said Cooper, who now runs the consulting firm Leading Mobility.
