Agreed about curbside parking - and bike lanes too. We have the space to do this right now and hang up the one-way vs two-way debate - might be easier to convert people who see a value to livable streets but who don['t want to give up their drive thru city.

The only thing about the one-ways is that it makes getting to a destination difficult for local residents and extremely frustrating for visitors.

I could handle main and cannon as one ways if we narrowed them with bike lanes and parking on both sides. But for ease of navigation I'd like to see a lot of the north-south streets put back to two way - and king street too. There's just no reason for the one ways on these anymore since the volume of north and south bound traffic is minuscule compared to east-west (and compared to what it was like during our industrial north end heyday).

Here's a question: Why is Bay Street one way? it goes from nowhere to nowhere (no offence to durand and the north end). Its one way status wreaks havoc with the ability to get around the very centre of our city, and is part of the reason that the york conversion is a total joke.

I vote down for offensiveness and up for humour. I cast no votes based on my level of agreement.
