The induced demand remains a drain on transit demand, but this also benefits enabling Victoria St. to perhaps growth back towards a part of the city than a commuter car sewer over the next couple decades.
I honestly believe that we will never see Victoria shrunk from 4/5 to 2 lanes without an alternative route to get towards Guelph.
There is an already-existing alternative route to the part of Victoria that one might consider narrowing to 2 lanes: Bingeman’s Centre Drive. We’ve been over this multiple times on this board and I don’t recall anyone presenting a counterargument. To implement this fully one would have to re-configure Shirley Dr. between Bingeman’s Centre Dr. and Victoria St., as well as the intersections at the ends of that segment.
