[URBAN NOTE] "TTC splits King Streetcar route into 2 during TIFF opening weekend"

[rfmcdonald]

CBC describes how TIFF has bisected the various streetcar routes running along King Street.

The King streetcar route has been split into two for the first weekend of the Toronto International Film Festival.

TIFF festivities have closed part of King Street West for a second straight year. As a result, the TTC is not servicing any streetcar or bus stops between University and Spadina Avenues from Sept. 8-11.

Instead, there are eastern and western loops for the streetcars. Rush-hour buses that serve the route are diverting around the festival closures.
