You can see sorta where it existed on by Dundas & Lyle, as east of that Dundas is 4 lanes, but around Lyle it narrows to 2 and can see the extended curb/sidewalk. I wasn't around when it was a pedestrian mall, things have ovbiously changed in 30 odd years, but that area is utter crap these days. If anything the city make Dundas 4 lanes from Wellington to VMP!

Dundas downtown should not be a pedestrian only mall on a permanent basis. Just do those car free deals to weekends or summer days, which seems to work well for everyone currently. What will happen when there's bad summer or winter weather? Who's gonna venture down Dundas with a few feet of snow covering it? As well it would just be another locale for OW recipients and other undesirables to loiter downtown that drive families & business away.

However the city should re-route all buses on Dundas to King & Queen, to get some of the traffic off Dundas and make it more pedestrian friendly. Why clog up the street with 20 buses pumping emissions in a narrow corridor. Most people can use the exercise and walk a block anyways. That would help in dispersing the people who loiter on Dundas!
