Queen to be closed for "Days"



It may be quite some time before you are able to ride on a 501 Queen streetcar at Portland. Reports are that the street will likely be closed for at least 48 hours, and that streetcars might not resume in the area until Monday. CityTV is reporting on-air that that the route might not be back to normal until Monday. CityTV also interviewed TTC Chairman, Adam Giambrone, who mentioned “shuttle buses” using “Richmond”, and suggested passengers use the 501 King streetcar, or the 2 Bloor-Danforth subway. These comments are not in sync with the TTC’s official map of the diversion, which still shows the streetcar diverting via Shaw, King, and Spadina.
