Are you talking about the "King Street bubble" concept they had back then? I don't know the city history completely, so I'm unaware of King Street being pedestrian at any point.
Sorry, I don't know anything about the "King Street bubble" concept. I'm referring to an actual closure of King Street when it was all the rage in many cities back decades ago. I believe Toronto experimented with a pedestrian mall on Yonge Street and Ottawa created the Sparks St. mall. There are probably dozens of cities across North America that have tried this.
