The extensive lane closures on Main and King Street in Hamilton over the past year have demonstrated clearly that we currently have vastly excessive lane capacity.

I see this as a golden opportunity for bike lanes, sidewalks, beautification, etc. Conversion to two-way actually compromises more pavement space to cars.

Two days ago, an article was posted here about downtown neighbourhoods, and they said that they either wanted 4-lane two-way streets, or 2-lane one-way streets. I'd rather have the latter than the former, personally. It gives us more space for better uses.
