The King Streercars are running down to the Cherry Street Loop again. Can't say I miss the screeching sound as they turn.

Interesting seeing King Street fully pedestrianized. I went on the second weekend last year.

Do the VIPs walk to their premier showing, or do they walk? If they arrive by limousine, then streetcars should be able to crawl through there.

Likely they have to have space for emergency vehicles to get access in case of an emergency. So there is space available.

King & Church at 4pm on a Friday during TIFF.

They let the cars inch through the peds. Some security in front to clear the way. Streetcars seem doable.

I'm not against a car free King Street, just one that's granite or cobblestone paved meant for pedestrians with streetcars running down the middle every few minutes. People would hear the ding ding and move.
This would work well even during TIFF. Streetcars could follow behind limos and wait for a few minutes while celebrities unload, no need to close the street entirely. If they really wanted to make TIFF notoriously Toronto, have celebrities take a red streetcar a few blocks from Charlotte to Peter, forget the limos.
