I have almost been hit by cars exiting plazas on King St. East. Drivers are so busy looking for cars coming down the one way street they forget to check for pedeesstrians walking east or west on the sidewalk and for those using sidewalks. I wish King St. and Bond were two way again, much safer for drivers and pedestrians. These streets are like raceways.
