Tractor-trailer up on streetcar platform at St. Clair/Bathurst

St. Clair Ave was closed in the westbound lane between Vaughan Rd and Bathurst St. Thursday night when this tractor-trailer was unable to negotiate a turn onto St. Clair. As the sad history of the St. Clair streetcar right-of-way has told us, there is precious little room for anything but the raised concrete platform carrying the tracks. It gives fire and emergency personnel nightmares but they’re not permitted to complain out loud.
