Having spent 21 years living in Ward 6 . . . I can certainly say that there are many people on the East Mountain who support the idea of this conversion. I have elderly relatives living in Ward 6 who fondly remember two way downtown streets, the incline railway and when Slainte was a blacksmith shop that shod horses. They've been saying for 50 years that one way streets were a bad idea and they're still saying it today. Several friends and neighbours of our family in Ward 6 run downtown businesses and they all support the idea of two way streets. Please don't paint everyone with the same brush; I doubt you will succeed in getting many more mountain residents on board if you don't include them in your version of the future. Let's elevate the level of the debate instead of buying into Tom Jackson's "inner city vs suburbs" mentality.
