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?

Benson, Steve Maybe Yes, I support two ways streets. But there is a lot to consider before implementing an idea like this. It has worked for some streets now but we need to make sure it will have the intended results as more streets are converted.
Kazubek, Joseph Yes yes I support changing to two way streets, I believe this will reduce the traffic congestion and lower car accidents. I would also like to invest into traffic cameras, and more police presence aswell.
MacIntyre, Dan Yes Yes. When we convert to two-way we create an atmosphere that is safer for pedestrians and drivers, more friendly to small business, and increases the desirability of the neighbourhoods in that area.
McMullen, Geraldine No There is no need to accelerate the conversion of these streets. We should only do so when the associated infrastructure is in place to accommodate the changes, where necessary. Change should make sense and be thoroughly planned out, with business, community, and citizen input.
Pauls, Esther Yes Yes. The current implementation has just added to congestion more effort needs to be put in place to facilitate moving through out the mountain and downtown.
