I have a few friends in the business of rendering. 3D (Lightwave, Maya, etc) and Adobe After Effects would mostly be the prime applications. They could be too busy, that is the only caveat.

I like the "What would happen if?" scenario. I think it would be neat to show them the current Downtown. Maybe have a "speed reader" to record the speeds of traffic. Show footage of Downtown and the traffic while on-screen the speeds that people are going while they rip through the core are displayed.

Then sink into a more pedestrian-friendly City scene. Show that the speeds are lower but the streets aren't empty. Something along those lines.

I think it's important to highlight the concerns of those who oppose the idea. The reasoning behind this is that you want to educate to the audience that the idea isn't on bias and ignorance, but from carefully skilled and planned strategies. For example, while showing the footage of people speeding down King. St. you could also display on screen the various pros and cons to the one-way traffic scenario. Why it works, why it doesn't.

When showing the 2-way pedestrian friendly streets, you could also display the pros and cons to that strategy as well.

The audience will on their own grasp the variation and with understanding grasp that it is more important to have an active community over a 80km/h speedway.

There is much planning to do if this strategy was executed, although I feel it's work would prove sincerity and weight in the facts.
