D-DAY is August 17 - Oh yes, your Monday will be AWESOME - Operation MAMPTYS

No sooner did Karen emerge from her fetal position from April's platform changes, will she find herself curled up in a corner, muttering, "Make it stop..." come Monday, August 17.

That's our D-Day folks. That's the day Metrolinx initiates Operation Move A Million People To York Street or "MAMPTYS" for short.

Officially the Bay Concourse closes August 16, but who cares about Sunday? Only Jays fans care about Sundays. I'm not downtown on a Sunday! It's Monday I'm interested in.

You know this will be the biggest gong show ever. Popcorn vendors should be fighting at the City Hall licensing office for permits.

What can we expect? Well, for starters, I'm sure there will be people wandering around asking:

"You mean I have to walk further...?"

"Can I take the subway there..?"

"Is there food...?"

"But this is where I always buy my coffee..."

"Will there be food...?"

"How will I get to the subway...?"

"Do I still have to go outside...?"

"Can I buy food...?"

GO Transit is offering some advice to those who really hate change. It's advice myself (and Bicky ... and Squiggles ...) have suggested before...

Try the route in advance.

Don't wait 'til Monday at 4:45 pm.

I'll have my violin handy, trust me.
