That's fair, but imagine if they widened the sidewalks a bit, added more trees on both sides, and made the streetcar tracks a greenway. Then Queen could begin to resemble a mini Omotesando. Terribly editted photo for reference:

Sounds good. I wish they'd actually work with the Sheraton to make the bridge more accessible & useful especially if they don't plan on pedestrianizing that section of Queen. Indeed, I'd rather they strongly consider pedestrianizing the areas a bit further west where there are more shops, and...

Guess that explains why an e-bike honked for me to move from their path while I was waiting on the sidewalk for the bus around there the other day 😒

Wasn't Ontario Place (OP) claiming there were around 3 million visitors going to it already in recent years? (Source) With more programming, and more of that year round, shouldn't we expect even more visitors, perhaps even approaching the 6 million the gov't is estimating? I don't think...

Definitely agree a preparedness plan would also be necessary! With a proper plan, which school board(s) would be tapped for which region could be laid out so less trying to figure that out if an emergency happened. The plan could also lay out a series of "if X do Y" scenarios to account for when...

Yes, in the northwest corner if I remember correctly.

I agree with those saying it should be a municipal emergency response system. Would it be feasible to deploy the closest school bus fleet and their drivers? For the most part, aren't most school buses parked for most of the time except in the mornings & late afternoon?

Oh I'm so glad it opened & they kept the brick & window seating from before 😊 Seems the fireplace was torn out though 😢 But maybe if it proves popular enough they'll bring that back 🍀🤞

This will open tomorrow!

☝ This last paragraph is so relevant & I'd add that building the high speed train through Peterborough & beyond would help a tonne too (if they'd actually do it!).

Another shot of the line running but not running:

I see what you did there☝Very nice!

About an hour into the removal process:

Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. 😅

Caught some training cars going by today:

That does not seem to allow for a properly accessible sidewalk. 🤔

I'd be okay with having 1 sit for every 5 squat - I think it'd be more efficient (and maybe cleaner, or at least easier to just hose down).

Hmmm... I'm not against pedestrianizing the area around NPS & the Eaton Centre, but that doesn't strike me as the area that needs it the most given that there are few stores that open to the street in that area & NPS is already a giant pedestrian zone. I think further west on Queen past Osgoode...

YES! At minimum, I hope they initiate "pedestrian Sundays" every weekend that close Queen West from Yonge to Spadina of all vehicles except streetcars & bikes (with further expansion up for consideration if it goes well).

I'm sure they'll make it work somehow, but the stage area looks less conducive to performance than in the past.
