Let me remind you of some of those “bold ideas” Keesmaat foisted on Toronto during her five-year tenure.
Keesmaat is the author of the infamous Bloor St. bike lanes and many other bike lane projects on major arterial roads. She was also strongly behind Toronto’s mini-Central Park — the $1.7-billion Rail Deck downtown park, which I’m betting will never get built. There’s the lovely $1.5-million King St. (streetcar) pilot, now in its eighth month, which has virtually turned the main thoroughfare into a Ghost Town and driven much of the business along the study area down by as much as 30%
