Neighbourhood Spotlight: Financial District (King St.)
TTC CEO Andy Byford made a splash this week by touting a Streetcar Only Corridor on King.
It's an idea that needs to be street tested, but its bold clarity was refreshing. Byford, a London Underground veteran who was Chief
Operating Operator at Australian New South Wales RailCorp prior to joining the TTC, will have to manoeuvre carefully if he is to be rainmaker in a city that tends to overcomplicate (Miller), only to collapse in a pile of simplicity (Ford).
One of the busiest streetcar routes in the city, King 504 moves (when it actually moves) 56,000 people daily, through some of the city's most rapidly densifying neighbourhoods.
