I was in Toronto the other day and made a point of walking down Adelaide (east of Jarvis to Parliament or so) because a host on CBC Radio the other week (discussing this proposal) discussed the street's desolation as if it were common knowledge.

Adelaide's not bad at all, and in that area you can see businesses like Edible Arrangements and Korean restaurants (not sure why those examples stuck in my mind). Unlike on Main, I saw a fair few pedestrians (this was during morning rush-hour, though).

Minnan-Wong makes a good point that one-way streets are suitable when done properly in certain areas (like New York, which Toronto isn't, but Hamilton is even further from being). It's not necessary to say that "Adelaide and Richmond are horrible," which is not true, when opposing the idea of one-way streets in most places.
