Realistically, did anyone expect a different result? The suburban/mountain councillors see the one-way streets to be in their interest because it makes driving easier, for the same reasons they saw building a huge four lane expressway through the mountain/red hill valley as being in their interest. All those deputations were amazing to see . . . but I feel like the only way to get an issue like this passed is to do a better job targetting individual councillors. Council works just like any other body in representative democracy - you can have the best thought out policy in the world but without the votes to back it up it will be DOA. A case needs to be made for two-way streets that will make sense to those suburban/mountain councillors.
