Original Toronto Star caption: Through the line: Commuters heading for their usual parking places found themselves lining up on the street today when striking attendants paraded across entrances to garages and surface lots. Cars were allowed through from time to time but backed-up vehicles blocked lanes and intersections downtown until police dispatched extra officers to open up the picket lines.
