It's full speed ahead for a bus-only lane on King Street.

At Wednesday night's council meeting, city councillors voted to move forward with the $300,000 pilot project.

The move reverses a decision to scrap the proposal made at last Thursday's public works committee meeting.

The go-ahead means a bus-only lane of King will be enforced between Mary Street to just east of Dundurn Street during peak hours. According to city transit director Don Hull, the move is "an absolute fundamental requirement" for the city's future rapid-transit plans....

Still, several councillors had concerns with the project. Five of them — Chad Collins, Brad Clark, Brenda Johnson, Lloyd Ferguson and Robert Pasuta — voted against the move for various reasons, including the argument that the project should run the whole length of the LRT route and not just downtown.
