I still dissent and think that, while 90% of the other roads should be converted to 2-way, the city needs an east-west 1-way corridor. After all, the city is very horizontally stretched and both sides of our "ring road" are partially (or in the case of the 403, completely) cut-off from the city proper. I like taking the bus... and I prefer it when that bus moves swiftly instead of being snarled in traffic.

That said, the 60-70kph Green Wave is friggin' absurd. Drivers shouldn't be encouraged to speed. We really do need to calm the traffic down... but not at the cost of making it stop constantly. Add button-controlled traffic-light crossings in between the existing lights, like where that poor guy on a rascal scooter was hit.

So I have to say I like the plan the city has so far - keep a single 1-way paired corridor, but make King 2-way to give us a proper downtown, and add LRT. Sounds perfect to me. Of course, I live in Westdale, so for me downtown is where I go to shop.
