| DiFalco, Teresa | No | I am not a fan of converting one-way thoroughfares into complete, two-way streets for several reasons. I am hearing from business owners, pedestrians, cyclists and drivers that the conversion is not working and is more of a risk than anything else. Some things that I am hearing are:
• Two way streets takes away parking options, thus affecting businesses. • Two way streets provide limited space for bike paths and bike parking. • Two ways streets would also limit space for other alternative means of transportation. • Two way streets make traffic more dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. • Two way streets may slow down traffic but there are other options available to do that. That being said, I do support the need to improve our streets in making them more accessible and safe for all users. I believe we can achieve this in a more comprehensive and suitable way. |
| Pearson, Maria | Maybe | I support the review of various one-way thoroughfares in the interest of converting to two-way streets. This should be a comprehensive review of our downtown transportation network that best addresses the movement of vehicles and addressing the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and transit users. |
