[Uptown] Erb/Bridgeport/Caroline/Albert Reconstruction

[tomh009]

Why is taking the bus on a one-way street a problem?

If we assumed that there were destinations on Erb or Bridgeport other than someone's house (which is at least a bit true around Regina and the Laurel Trail, say), then it's a problem when the bus drops you off on Erb and you'd rather be on Bridgeport. They're not quite next to each other.

Also a bit of a problem for biking, although it's a bit faster on a bicycle than on foot to walk from Erb to Bridgeport.

If your destination is on Bridgeport (as an example), currently the bus stop would be an average of 0.5 blocks away (on the spot for westbound, one block away for eastbound bus).

With a two-way street, the bus stop would be either 0.0 or 1.0 blocks away, depending on whether your destination is on the same street as the bus route (I think it's safe to assume that buses would not run on both).  So on average, I really think it's pretty much a wash for the buses.
