Thank you for your comments Ryan.


Your comment: "Do you think the physical danger, economic decline and community harm are fair prices to pay for a bit of convenience?"

I do not feel in physical danger due to the state of the roads downtown. I feel in danger when my path crosses that of someone who is not obeying the rules of the road. That happens anywhere. I do however find that your comment is a straw man argument, and I would hope that the editor of a website would push to have both sides of an opinion represented, rather than attempt to tarnish and dissuade anyone opposition.



As for the reduction of lane capacity, that in itself will not cause a massive traffic disruption; having cars constantly slowing down to stop and idle puts them on the road for a longer period of time. This is what causes the disruption. One needs only to travel to the mountain, or to Burlington where you'll see that a constant stream of traffic is created by two-way lights.
