I work in the eastern half of union station, right at bay and front. I call the section between spadina and bay 'The Gauntlet'. No rules apply here, and anyone in a car or on foot or on a bike will be guarunteed to do the most unpredictable stupid maeneuver with no warning. There are lines of cabbies waiting like wolves to pull a U turn from a parking space to catch a fare across the street, or pull out in front of you just to pull back in so they can be at the front of the taxi stand. And right now there is crazy construction going on closing one of the lanes, nevermind the delivery vans parked everywhere and the terrible road surface. Also the peds swarm across the streeth whether you're speeding towards them or not. Safety in numbers I guess.
I should really just go down to Queen's Key blvd and head east
