Original Toronto Star caption: Up at Bay and Queen Sts. is almost conhese days as the almost endless road construction downtown area entangles many of the half-million motorists steaming through Metro each day. Metro roads commissioner Sam Cass says making Bay St.- considered by most motorist interviewed as the worst in Metro - one way; along with other traffic management schemes; would solve the problem; but Toronto City Council isn't ready to do anything.
