jason, try this:

(pages 54-56)

Also mentioned in the summary and conclusions of this:

www.myhamilton.ca/NR/rdonlyres/99B33DE1-5554-4DF0-B187-104802C61631/0/EconomicImpactStudy.pdf

but at first glance I couldn't find where it's mentioned in the preceding pages.


In my opinion, a two-way Main even with no train would see significant improvements over its current state. From a transit perspective, I agree with the studies that two-way on one corridor would make transit less confusing for riders than a one-way solution.

Our confusing bus system is such because of its dependence on the as-built road system. Remove the pre-conceived restrictions of "main must go east, King must go west" from the planning of transit and you are free to develop a system that actually works for riders rather than cars.


As for A Smith, they might do well from reading the Economic Impact Study above.
