The rebuild of the street car tracks has reached High Park Avenue. It's a bit chaotic in terms of navigating the street and parking and such. But I am very happy that the local BIA has taken an intelligent approach to the whole thing. Not like the putzes up on St. Clair. Those morons made things worse for themselves by bogging the construction process down in the courts and ended up hurting themselves even more. I hope other BIAs take look at the results here. Sure business is down for a lot of stores, but only two have shut down so far as I can tell and the construction will be done within a year of starting. Not five years later like on St. Clair.
Plus the BIA here negotiated a deal with the city so that all street parking is free until the construction project is over. That was a brilliant move as far as I am concerned (plus it has saved me a fortune in parking charges! Thank you very much Roncesvalles VIllage BIA!!!! You folks are straight up in my books. So don't let the construction deter you from visiting this great neighbourhood.
