With all the concern about traffic flow, it would seem strange indeed for our particular city to end up going with the one-way option that preserves our current traffic flow but cuts off all the streets above/below it.

So far I think this is pretty good for what we can expect. The city has a clear preference for LRT, the consultants' report is actually being listened to and somewhat understood (!), local politicians have actually seen LRT in other cities... come on July 20.

The overall price tag for the city will even look smaller compared to all the other infrastructure going on... I think it'll be easier to understand and accept the cost to the city (however much) and the benefits of the LRT both during construction and after in the context of the recession.
