Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: It is 5.10 P.M. and the location is the traffic light at the Bathurst-Fleet intersection. Cars are jammed here; well away from the proposed 15 m.p.h. zone between Strachan and Sunnyside Aves. It's tough enough to get traffic moving here. At Sunnyside it's worse.
