[URBAN NOTE] Four transit notes: King Street, bike lanes, Toronto Islands ferries, Coach Terminal

[rfmcdonald]

• Transit Toronto reports on how King, from Bathurst through to Jarvis, has been made a street where transit--streetcars, particularly--has priority.


• CBC notes that, by the standards of other peers, Toronto lags behind in the implementation of bike lanes.


• The venerable old ferries which link Toronto to the Toronto Islands are set to be retired. Farewell, noble boats. CBC reports.


• I quite like the idea of seeking out plans to make the Toronto Coach Terminal new again. It might be overlooked these days, but it does have lovely bones. The Toronto Star reports.
