Hamilton has a legacy of multi-lane, one-way arterial streets dating back to the 1950s. Do you support accelerating the conversion of these streets to two-way? Why or why not?

Bureau, Alain Yes
Farr, Laura Yes I have always and continue to support the conversions. The reasons for making the streets one way - many people going to and from the factory jobs in the east end - are no longer where people are going to and from anymore.
Kuruc, Ned Maybe I support the conversion to two-lane streets, as long as it fits into Hamilton's master transit plan.
Nann, Nrinder Yes Yes. There are more than 80 one-way streets in the city. Conversions to two-way streets will calm traffic, reduce side-street cut-throughs, and help us move towards complete streets, where streets are accessible to all users and safe for pedestrians.

Plus, the conversion to two-way streets has been part of a long-delayed update to the 2007 transportation master plan.

It's time we implement the plan we created more than a decade ago.
Smith, Dan Yes I think conversion to two way would help as it tends to slow traffic a bit. Speed is a main reason why accidents happen.
Sprague, Kristeen No I think we need to consider improving the road surfaces before we consider converting more streets to two-way streets.
