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?

Candidate | Brief Response | Full Response |
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. |
