I've admitted it before and I'm still ashamed. I was once a pro-onewaystreeter. I despised/feared downtown Hamilton, locked my car doors when I hit Victoria, if not before, and didn't breathe again until I got passed Hess. Get through the ick as quickly as possible.

Then the waterfront park opened and I actually biked to the downtown. And it was nice. Then James St. converted to two-way, and it was nice. Now, I go downtown. It's not at all what it looks like from a speeding car. It's nice. Interesting. Fun.

Victoria Street in particular amuses me. It's a beautiful street. If only it was two-way. Those houses would be snapped up and converted back to nice single-family residences in no time. If I was young and up for the challenge, I'd be looking to move downtown now. Street conversion is an inevitability for this city and the core could quickly become the most desirable place to live.
