LRT can never do this because it is at-grade. It's not that complicated to understand.
I don't think it's bad to take away lanes of traffic. There are other routes that one can take if one is driving a car. Why should we privilege automobile traffic on King Street? Automobile traffic is low-efficiency and erects a barrier for people trying to be on the street in any other form. Bike lanes and sidewalks both have far more capacity than road lanes.
