Norton, Kevin Yes The short answer is yes. I am always in support of changes to infrastructure that alleviate the stress of vehicles on our system. That being said not every one way is capable of this kind of change. I would never require a road to be changed thus unless I personally investigated the street in question and myself drove along it during a number of conditions. To make a decision about the way any road is conducted without experiencing the same issues those who drive it frequently do would be irresponsible in my opinion.
Risdale, Marc Rhéal Yes Yes. One-way streets are few and far between in Dundas and I believe we are a model neighbourhood when it comes to walkability. While there are still several areas of concern, traffic along King Street is generally well behaved and people feel safe on foot. Motorists generally drive too quickly along the major one-way streets in Hamilton and it leads to far too many injuries and close calls.
Scime, Danya Yes Yes, I fully support complete streets that will calm traffic and keep our local businesses accessible; pedestrian, cycling and cars should be able to have access to the Ma & Pa Companies that are the backbone of our City. Taking away much needed street parking for Transit (bus) only lanes is hurting many of the businesses that once thrived. Many are looking forward to the pilot project (bus only lanes) to end ~in the hopes of gaining back their Customers.
Vanderbeek, Arlene Yes Yes. I support the implementation of complete streets were feasible.
Yull, Toby Yes I am in favour of two-way complete streets, introduced on a regular schedule.
