I'm rather sickened by the political opportunism here. Someone just died gruesomely in downtown mid-day in front of many people. Have some respect for the victim, family, and witnesses.

But if you would like me to be as rude too - yes, I would agree that 64 km/h is too fast for a downtown - its near twice the speed most small towns have. And they don't have so many lanes to be in - we're lucky for that - if the limit were 35, say, or even 40, its not like we don't have enough lanes to handle it. There should be more parking on the sides, too, which helps slow people down.

Two-way isn't the only solution. Just look at how many people treat Locke street like a speedway as evidence of that.
