And hey, I agree with Rainrider22...what a day to be alive.
FWIW...in 2019 CoK staff were moving towards this idea, unfortunately the pandemic utterly derailed everything. (Including sending regional staff to Copenhagen).
I'm not sure though...would I rather Jubilee be made car free before or after King St.
Edit: Alternate universe musings...Park St. could have easily been connected to Schneider and on to Mill instead of Courtland. It would serve basically the same traffic function, and go to the same place (eventually) but how would it have changed our city if it was. Would Mill, Carwood, Vanier, and Manitou all be continuous again? Would sprawl be worse or better or unchanged? Would the Park be improved or worsened?
HAHAH, yes...
Imagine if they had nice cobblestone street, and then have Gaukel street join king all the way to Victoria park with no cars... Beautiful walkable area. Just watch how fast the foot traffic would increase. And with all the new Condo towers coming on line, IN8 still has 2 more big towers coming close to Gaukel... I can see an incredible transformation. Highly desirable area to live then./
