  1. The city should be ashamed of Fleet Street. It’s taken well over a year to replace tracks and repave the road which is simply atrocious.

    What they should do is replan that whole area because currently it is a disaster.

    Why not create a giant roundabout in front of the princes gate and turn fleet street into a westbound lane and lakeshore into an eastbound lane.

    They should also do something to the streetcar tracks that sets it apart from a regular roadway like some different coloured concrete or grass.

  3. Jay>its worse than you can imagine.The whole system down at the Lakeshore is being built to serve Exibition Place.Call your councillor for the details.
