Opponents of one-way streets feel that two-way streets are safer and more livable than one-way ones, and will result in the local businesses prospering as well.
Using this "logic" we'll put planters in between lanes on the highways because they look nicer, are safer and more livable.
I even question the premise. Two way Erb St. W. is neither safer, nor more livable than Erb St. E. Both are ugly main throughways not ideal for urban habitation.
You guys remind me of local city planners who seem to have reached the conclusion that since roundabouts are generally good, roundabouts everywhere are bestest. No case by case analysis or anything, just follow the trend whether it makes sense or not.
