The mess that is King Street during TIFF may not happen next year.
Toronto Mayor John Tory was speaking on CP24 when he suggested things could be different in 2018.
"With the King Street changes that are coming in terms of trying to move the transit vehicles better, you are unlikely to see this sort of thing next year because King Street will have changed in a way that probably won’t allow this to happen," says Tory.
He's talking about the pilot project that will put an emphasis on streetcars, giving them priority over cars and trucks on King.
It starts on November 13th, and will run for a full year.
While Tory says his office has heard it's fair share of complaints about the closure, overall people are supportive of TIFF.
"It's one of those things that's an acceptable price to pay, as long as it's not every week."
