Er, College St. is next, though . . .
In a holiday gift to the quickly growing King Street West neighbourhood (''Liberty Village'' to real estate agents) the city reopened this section of King to traffic and streetcars on Tuesday. This brings an end to the four-month shutdown, during which residents and streetcars struggled around the detour on car-jammed Queen Street.

The new underpass solves a growing problem here. Trucks these days are longer and taller than vehicles were when the city built this underpass in 1889; every week or two a truck -- generally driven by an American who couldn't understand the metric warning, ''Clearance: 3.9 m'' --would get stuck.
