With all due respect, I don't agree with this at all. Having lived in Durand and still being in Durand many times a week I find that it's streets have some of the lowest traffic volumes in the lower city, which is amazing considering it's density. Sure, the hospital drives traffic on Charlton/Herkimer and the Mountain Access drives traffic on James, but other than that, Durand is a great place to walk or cycle. Very low and slow traffic. I agree a bus on Bay would make sense, along with wider sidewalks, but in the mornings there is a steady stream of folks walking downtown from Durand. Ditto for the afternoon and then the evening shopping/dining/nightlife crowd. More quality condos will add even more people to the streets and hopefully sustain more businesses on James, King etc....
