We the Tweeple: Quay to the city

BY: The Grid

Harbourfront-dwellers and commuters woke to a daunting scene on Monday morning, as Queens Quay between Bay and Spadina was entirely closed to eastbound traffic—as it will be for a few months, while the street is turned into Toronto’s “Champs-Élysées,” according to the vice president of Waterfront Toronto. It’ll include a tree-lined pedestrian promenade, bike lanes, and new streetcar tracks. Toronto tweeters hope the pain is worth the gain.
