The plan to get cars off King St. downtown to improve the speed of streetcar service begins in November. It will require drivers to turn right at every intersection so that access by car will be one block at a time. This may well improve streetcar schedules and the TTC has said it will release monthly updates on commute times, streetcar reliability and ridership once the King Street pilot project launches next month. The one-block wonder specification seems likely to make drivers simply stay off King St. much as many avoid St. Clair Ave West because of the streetcar wall.
