Gaukel Street Pedestrian Promenade

[kwcc]

I don't think your reading of the traffic study is very accurate. 
It's not true that "traffic is simply being shifted from Joseph to Charles". If so, that still begs the question, what about the impacts of dividing the pedestrian street by a busy street, Charles? 
The City's traffic study showed a significant increase of cars diverting to local streets.
Those streets have a significant number of people living in affordable housing. Do you support the displacement of those families and the kids who can currently ride their bikes on the street?

The victoria park neighbourhood is not known for affordable housing...at best, it's a mixed neighbourhood with a little of everything, it's a great place, and the traffic shifted there is largely as a result of closing Water St at Jubilee.

I think it's wonderful that we're not "known for affordable housing". We're happy and support being a "mixed neighbourhood" and, I'd agree, that's part of what makes it a great place. Please, don't displace the kids and families that make it so.
