I have to disagree that Erie, Emerald, Tisdale or West work well as two way streets. Folks just drive up the centre too fast and it's a pretty common site for one car to have to pull off to let another pass, or drive on the sidewalk. There's too much cut-over traffic from Stinson (which is why Wentworth should be two way all the way to Burlington). This is a place where I think it would be better served to make it a one way grid and parking on both sides, or extend one sidewalk with trees/grass/bike lanes/planters. 30 Km/h speed limits, street furniture and even interlocking brick roadways, there should be virtually no non-local traffic on these streets. Stinson should become a "Victorian Village" as it's already the poster child for adaptive reuse having kept much of it's amazing architecture (even though many are triplexes now). Of course there's much higher density than there is parking, so the neighbourhood could really benefit from 24hr parking increase while protecting the sidewalks from traffic.
