This will be my last reply, after which I will follow my own advice and refrain from debating trolls. You've made it abundantly clear that you are not interested in honest discussion.

This suggests that you believe cars should not exist at all in the equation but you will compromise by putting them on the bottom of the priority list.

Main street right now is five lanes, with the two sidewalks adding up to a little less than the width of a lane. That gives us roughly six lanes' width of road space.

You're suggesting that a plan that allocates 4 lanes out of 6 to automobiles puts them "on the bottom of the priority list".

That is straightforward nonsense.

You are constantly talking about creating congestion as a means to an end rather than and end result of something else.

This is another strawman, which you have already attacked and to which I have already replied.

Hamilton has far too much automobile lane capacity, as evidenced by the lack of congestion from closing multiple lanes on Main and King. I have specifically and repeatedly argued from evidence that rebalancing our streets to support two-way traffic, walking and cycling will not cause gridlock.

Now please stop trolling. If you want to debate, do so honestly and in good faith, and be prepared to follow the evidence.
