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 |
| Gelder, Rich | Yes | I support the immediate conversion of one-way to two-way, hopefully as part of the move to light rail transit. With LRT going down King, Main must be simultaneously converted to two way.
The six decade experiment with one way streets has proven a dismal failure in the downtown core. We have also seen evidence of a neighbourhood revival, James Street North, when it was converted back to two-way. |
| Mitchell, Pamela | N/A | Declined to answer |
| Vanderbeek, Arlene | No | I don't have a strong opinion on this issue. I see the pros and cons on both sides of the situation and would welcome staff, constituent and Ward Councillor's input on any particular proposed change. |
