I'm not sure the King pilot could work in Ottawa. In Toronto, it's a near perfect solid grid all over downtown, with high-density, high-activity commercial and institutional uses all over, along wide streets. In Ottawa, for Bank, we have a near solid grid but the side streets are narrow, quiet residential. Along Montreal, we have a broken grid of narrow lower density residential.

It might work along Bank if people had to turn right on Gladstone, Somerset and Laurier, but we would need to set the light cycles to make that possible as so many people cross, it's near impossible to turn with the current set-up.
