People on foot are supposed to use the street? Really?
I've been waiting so long for King to reopen to foot traffic (because of where I live, and the Waterloo closure, my walk downtown is a fair bit longer right now), I was expecting some sort of ribbon-cutting when the sidewalk was accessible again. Of course, I should have known that the sidewalks would probably not be finished even when car traffic was allowed. It took weeks for the last pernicious gaps in the sidewalk elsewhere on King to be closed.
Bottom line, though: people on foot are legally allowed down King, and can safely do it? Even if they have to use the street?
