[Uptown] Erb/Bridgeport/Caroline/Albert Reconstruction

[MidTowner]

Hamilton without them would be even worse. Same town but with a permanent traffic jam. The solution has been to convert minor streets back to two way, while keeping the main arteries one way.

Hamilton can't get much worse for people who ever find themselves trying to get around without using a car. There would be no traffic jams- the roads in the lower city are over-built, and there is way too much capacity. A handful of streets have been reverted back to two-way, but many other locals remain one-way.

Notice that Main and King even very close to downtown have negligible street life. They're such a barrier that thriving retail districts (Locke Street South, James Street North) can't expand past them.

Anyway, Bridgeport and Erb can be quite unpleasant, but they're not nearly as bad as Main Street Hamilton thank God. That's not to say we can't and shouldn't insist on better here.
