In 2007 the TTC had a scheme to create dedicated lanes on King Street but it failed, I think, because of opposition from storefront business owners.
I'm curious if more people could be moved by one dedicated streetcar lane on King and Queen than two lanes of mixed traffic on each street. Were the configuration to be curb-loading, no automobile traffic would be impacted except for the adjusted signalling required for left and right turns across the dedicated lane.
Here's an image of the directional concept. There's more of a description and a lane plan on my blog disruptionmonitor.com. (Sorry for the plug.)
