if only there was a cheap/temporary way to enhance the public realm on Main Street....

Also a PB project I plan on submitting is to cut out small squares into the sidewalks for street trees along the length of Main and Cannon as shown in the above pic.

The city did this a few years ago on King in Westdale, and the sidewalks are ample wide along Cannon and Main to do the same. That one small addition of a new green canopy along with planters and parking protected bike lanes would bring Main St a giant step forward in livability and vibrancy on it's sidewalks. Traffic volumes through Bay St only warrant 2-3 lanes of traffic. 24-7 parking on the north curb with a few spots removed before intersections to allow for left turn lanes would still maintain 3 full traffic lanes, plus safe bike lanes, greenery in the planters, 24-7 parking for businesses and a safer environment on the sidewalk thanks to the buffer between high speed traffic and the sidewalk.
